have ur door card off and check the positioning of the motors, if they open all the way/close all the way and thers resistance they will close/open again..... take one off andactivate the locking and if it does it still then take the other off and see if still does it. if it works perfect wile ther off you just have to realign them when fitting them back up.
if thats not your problem im not sure what to suggest.

Take out the door locks and spray some freeing oil on them, mine was doing the same as yours and it was the locks that were sticking

Check the wiring as it goes through the door. Most likely a broken wire or two

Have you checked the red connector behind the speaker cover in the footwell? If not pull it apart and clean the connector pins using a fibre pen. Should sort it pal, I tried everything and it worked for me.

Mine sometimes unlocks, locks then unlocks again when i unlock using the alarm. Sometimes it forgets the last unlock so i have to use the key. Sometimes it just unlocks as normal. I thought it was the clifford and whatever central locking controllers they used with it.
