Is it possible that yu have a valet key and not the full vehicle key?
The valet key is designed to only open the drivers door.

Hmmmmmmmmm

I bought this WJ second hand and only got 1 key and 1 remote. I got another
key cut and programmed Monday. There are only 2 lock cylinders...the
driver's door and the ignition lock. Both keys start the car, both
lock/unlock the driver's door manually.

All the door locks work electrically with the remote and the driver's door
switch.

There is no mention in the manual as to whether this should work.

I guess I am wondering if the key is supposed to operate all the locks via
the driver's door. I don't recall any newer car with electric locks that
didn't but it did not occur to me to check with my old XJ.

Perhaps I need a fellow WJ'er (preferably 2002 Laredo) to test their keys
and see what happens (or doesn't happen)

Try pressing the unlock button twice within a second or so.
