Door Lock issue, and no it's not what you're thinking
The problem i am having is when i unlock my doors with my python alarm. all of my locks unlock twice. i have been searching for a while and have come up with nothing. i have had this issue for a long time. i have a 99 GS 400 with a python 881xp installed. Both front doors have dead or dying actuators. i have noticed even when i just use the driver inside door lock button. it will still unlock twice. Any help would be nice

I have seen this before and this is usually what is causing it. Shame on them for letting you take the car home like that - assuming you had it installed and did not get the car that way.

Did you have this problem leaving after the alarm install?
Yes? Alarm is the culprit.
No? It's exactly what you've stated. Actuators going bad. I would take a look at the DIY thread on replacing the motors in the door lock actuators. It wasn't difficult at all. I only paid a few bucks for the motors vs $250 for the whole actuators.

Okay i'm back with the same problem
1. all door locks work manually and electronically
2. aftermarket alarm was unplugged. Still did the same thing.
3. using factory keyless fob. pressing unlock once will unlock the driver door but no beep. if i try to open the door the factory alarm will go off. If i press it twice all doors unlock. All the locks unlock and the car beeps twice like it is supposed to.
I feel like it is down to the driver side Multiplex MPX module. Does that module control if the system is sensing the doors are lock or unlocked?
