Strange door lock issue...

So the last few times I go to get in the car I keep thinking "Gee, I thought I locked the doors?"

Then I paid really close attention making sure that I actually locked the door. Turned the key in the clockwise direction and back to center and removed the key, heard the little servo hum, watched the peg go down, and then the servo hummed again and the peg went back up. Pulled on the handle, and yup, it's unlocked. Tried to lock it again, and again the same. It locks and then unlocks itself.

When I lock it from the passenger side, it stays locked.

WTF?!?!?

Yeah, those things are hard to get right. It's how the arm is sitting on the gear. I just ended up unhooking one of my doors on the Euro since I lost patience with it. If your patient, you'll get it. I just moved on to more important and bigger issues. Never ends.

Could also be a pin switch on the door jam, if the car thinks a door is open it won't lock the door.
