I had the same problem, I was charging my battery from under the hood, and not knowing better tried to unlock my doors so that I could hook my charger right to the battery post. I FRIED ALL my acuators. I replaced all but the trunk (not knowing it was bad). I got the same thing as you with the double lock! When I replaced the trunk acuator all was fine. So you may want to check all of your acuators!

Okay, so curing my c/locking problem wasn't as easy as I'd thought. Whenever I lock the doors, they lock & then unlock. Lock them again & they stay locked. Same happens when unlocking, it takes two attempts! I've tried swapping the Relay Module & the General Module (ZKE), with known good units, but to no effect. This is assuming that either one of these modules handles the c/locking? Any help here would be much appreciated.
