All of the doors lock normally both with interior lock switches, as well as the key fob. If I open the drivers door when the car is “locked, ” it still sets off the alarm. Not getting anywhere looking at fuse box diagrams, want to know if there’s another solution before I buy a replacement door lock actuator.

Hello, I'm Danny.

I need to ask a few questions to clarify the issue first. Does the key fob and driver door switch unlock and lock the door and alarm then go off? Are are you sitting in the car with doors locked and then you just open the driver door with interior handle and then the alarm go off? Are all the doors locking and unlocking but just when driver door opened alarm goes off? Just need a little more information to figure what to look for. Also, If you want to make a video of this with your cell phone of this issue you can do so and upload here so we can view. Get back to us and we'll go from there. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
