Made another attempt tonight. Since it stopped working while opening the passenger door, I checked in that area. Especially where the wire harness from the door enter in the passenger's feet area. Lot's of wires are there. I found a corroded connector pin. In fact there was some corrosion between two connectors and my explanation is this:
When I pressed on lock/unlock button, the corrosion on those two holes (female type connectors) shifted the current normally sent to the lock door actuator, to the dome light. I cannot tell for sure if the other hole connector was indeed for dome light but I am assuming that was the case. Does that make sense to you?
I tried several times, opened and closed doors and worked every time!
Before saying for sure my issue is solved, I will see down the road if problem resume again while traveling.
