You are referring to the illumined entry feature, where you press unlock, and the interior / cargo lamps go when using the RKE, or the keypad, prior to opening the door ?
Do the lights always work if you use the key to unlock the door, and open it ?
You can try a swap of the interior lamp relay, maybe the coil or contacts are going out ?
If this is only with the RKE, and opening the door works 100% of the time, ould be something else.
Maybe start with swapping the interior lamp relay, and test to see if it works 100% of the time with the RKE ( if the I got the issue correct ).
If memory serves me correctly, the interior lamp relay is a half size ISO relay, and you should be able to swap this with one from the Battery junction box ( under the hood ) with the trailer tow parking lamp, fog lamp or trailer tow reversing lamp relay ( think those are all 1/2 ISO relay, check your owners manual to make sure )

opening the door only works around 50% of the time.

Well I finally got around to messing with this, turns out it is the relay. Its relay #1 under the dash. If the lights dont come on, I can flick the relay and they come on. They stay on if I put pressure on the relay. I tried to pull it, but it wont budge. It feels like I'm going to break it.
