Depressing the driver's door lock locks all other doors, as it should. Lifting the driver's door lock unlocks none of the other doors, as it should.

Replacing the driver's door power cable and relay has had no effect on operation.

I have found that with rapid activation of the driver's lock
one may be able to obtain lifting of the other locks in perhaps 10-20 up and down cycles. What do you think?

Thanks for your help.

Sounds as though the door lock actuator on the d/s is having a problem seeing the position of the lock. It sees where the lock is an locks/unlocks the others accordingly

Yep, I agree I would replace the door lock actuator on the drivers front door. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
