When i use the alarm remote or button on the key to unlock the car, all doors unlock then a second or so later automatically lock again. If i use the key to manually unlock the door, only that door will unlock. Same situation if sitting in the car and manually unlocking the door from the lock knob. Apart from this the after market alarm seems to be working fine, eg: when i try to unlock the car the alarm is deactivated.

Hi B Lloyd,

There is a problem with the actuator, it could be out of adjustment or the switch is faulty.
