When I lock the doors of my car with remote one of the doors pops back up and unlocks itself. I have to open the door and push it back down for it to be closed when I leave the car on the street. What do I have to change or check to repair it, so the door stays locked when I lock the car with remote? Thanks

More then likely this actuator is failing. I am attaching the process on how to replace this but can you get a video of this just so we can see what it is doing?

There may be a chance that this is unlocking the door for a reason so seeing what the lock is doing will help us tell what could be happening.

Here is a guide that will help with removing the door panel:

Let us know what questions you have and if you can get a video. Thanks
