a. Driver door actuator is at fault
b. Still suspect a bad door actuator as it linked to the door key and lock
c. This is happening because have a door switch open and I find it very common on the driver door use penetrating oil spray in the door latch close and open the door few times and spray again
d. Without a scanner tool to check which door switch is at fault ,try the penetrating oil on all door latches
