My problem is that my doors are power but the driver door will not work manually. I do have a remote that seems to lock and unlock the doors but the alarm does not activate nor will the doors stay locked. They also seem to have a mind of their own as they go up and down by themselves when i'm driving or sitting still. I have gotten out of the car locked it and my coworker heard the locks going up and down or at least making the noises. Please tell me what this could be.

Try this. Subject: Power Door Locks Cycling Or Inoperative From The Switches

Models: 2005-2008 Chevrolet Cobalt

2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit

2007-2008 Pontiac G5 It has been reported that an issue exists that will cause the door locks to cycle when driving and/or become inoperative from the door lock switches. When the condition is present the door locks are inoperative from the switches, however they work normally with the key fobs. (If equipped with Remote keyless Entry)

Recommendation/Instructions:
It is recommended that you connect the Tech-2 to the vehicle and look at the door lock switch status (RFA data-list) it should be reading "Idle". If it reads lock or unlock then check for a possible sticking door lock switch and replace as necessary. I've had a couple of these where I found corrosion at the window switch, might want to check that to. Post back with what you found.
