Today something weird happened, I unlocked it with the key then the car and the car locked itself a few seconds later and then unlocked itself and locked itself again.

I have Wings-A-Loft installed. The automatic drivers door hasn't worked in a couple of months.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Two possibilities, 1, the doors were not both fully closed and locked in second locking position or 2, one or both sliding switches are out of adjustment.

Most everyone here will tell you to clean the switches and do the lock set procedure here: http://www.dmcnews.com/bulletins/ST-10-8.81.pdf but before you go through that ordeal, look for something simple first. Being a refurb owner,
you probably have the newer door lock module like me, there are a set of lights that will give you an idea of where to look for the problem. if you don't have the instructions for the lock module diagnostic, they should be easy to find online. If you can't I have mine stuck away in my documents.
Since you have the door launchers I will ask, did you use those wire splicers that came with the kit? Go and recheck all those first, reclamp them and see if your problem is still there....you just may find the door lock problem has been fixed and the door launcher works too! I had the same thing happen with my car, it turned out to be a wire had worked itself loose from the plug harness.

I experienced this.

Lock and latch procedure solved the problem. I find even when I do the procedure without any obvious and major visible changes things always work better after
