Actuators and Blinkers Go Off When Door is Unlocked Keylessly

Car went in for body work, they swapped 2 passenger doors, I think in the process they had to remove the dash because a small section is popping up, guess they broke the clip(s) holding it down.

I guess they also had to disconnect and reconnect a bunch of wire looms. I noticed something odd when I picked up the car but didn't think much of it as the car drives normally, and thought may be due to low battery from sitting there for weeks.

Noticed a pattern when I got home. It doesn't happen when unlock using the remote. But when touching the door handle to unlock keylessly (either passenger or driver door), the actuators activate 5 times and blinkers flash 7 times simultaneously, car starts and drives normally.

The actuators and blinkers can be interrupted by pressing unlock on the remote.

Any idea what is causing this? So I can explain to the body shop and see if they can fix it. On a minor note, would you insist to get them to fix the dash while they look into the unlock issue?

 

Yeah, will call them tomorrow, in case it develops other problem.

I don't remember if the blinker flashed when door was unlocked keylessly.

Thinking about it, maybe there's a problem with the unlock sensor as you said, it doesn't know when doors are unlocked and continues trying for 4 more times then gives up. Blinkers just go with the actuators.

Perhaps remote unlock doesn't have that re-try logic.
