The lights are supposed to flicker 2 times, not 3. If 3, it may indicate presence of something aftermarket.

The only time I've seen it not flicker when unlocking is when the door wasn't locked to begin with.

Make sure your headlight settings are on Automatic and not off.

Could be a battery issue. When the voltage is low, it will disable convenience features.
