Hi,

I have noticed that if all of the locks do not "confirmed" in the downward
position, the locks unlock again.  I noticed when I didn't have the
passenger door closed all of the way, and there was something in the latch
preventing the lock from engaging all the way.    The only exception is the
sliding door, of course.  If you lock the PDL's with the slider open, it
will close when the door is closed.  So -- check for mechanical "binding" in
any of the actuators -- including the hatch.
