Default Door Lock Problems

Hi all!

I'm new to Club Lexus, but I've owned my 2012 CT 200h for about a year and a half. Shortly after buying the car, the lock actuators started to go. First, it was the driver's door, then the front passenger's door. I bought replacements from Autozone and replaced them myself without any problem. However, an ongoing problem with the keyless lock/unlock started before I replaced the actuators and has gotten worse since.

Keyless entry works well enough still. When I reach for the door handle, all doors unlock. However, when I pull the handle, the car tries to unlock itself anywhere between 5 and 10 times. This problem started shortly after the actuators started to go, and I figured replacing them would fix the problem. It didn't. The car still unlocks on repeat for a few seconds each time I try to open the car from the driver's side.

The keyless locking function used to work when I bought the car. When the lock problems started, it still worked most of the time. Now, it doesn't work at all.

These lock/unlock issues are obviously a minor inconvenience, but I would like to fix them if it's a reasonably priced fix. Does anyone know what could be causing the repeating unlocks and the malfunctioning locking feature?

Do you still have your stock OEM regulators? I'd try fixing them like this here and install them back. Maybe the car's computers aren't liking the resistance of the aftermarket autozone motors or something. i don't know.
