I got in the car and locked the doors with my key fob (no door pins) and when i went to unlock the car, the car unlocks and locks itself. The drivers side door stays locks whilst doing this but the passenger side door is able to open. Now I can open the drivers side door with the key but the alarm goes off all the time now. Any ideas what maybe to cause this??

did you unclip the door pins or cut them off.

if you cut them its possibly that the rods are getting caught somewhere, this happens to me sometimes

yup, does sound like the rods getting caught, it will try to unclock (the sound is made) but if it feels resistance it will go back (thus making the locking sound again)

unfortunately it guna be hard to take your door card off, i believe u need to disconnected the battery (to stop the central locking) then unlock with the key and hey presto, do have a look

They are cut mate. That would be the first thing i check. I'm hoping that there is no electrical problem.
