Weird unlock problem only from inside the car

Hey all, Got a very strange unlock problem in my wife's car. What happens is she locks the car with the door switch when she gets in the car and as of a couple days ago, the unlock part of the switch doesn't work anymore. At first I thought it was just a bad switch, but it doesn't work from either door. The button on the key fob works fine. Putting your hand in the handle with the key fob on you also unlocks the door. Here's were it gets weirder. She gets in the car, locks the doors. And then when she starts the car, it unlocks the doors and she has to lock them again. Anyone seen anything like this? Here's what we've tried: The other key fob replace battery in key fob unplug the car battery for several hours to reset having both fobs on us. having neither fob on us Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Fixed

Found it, but I thought I'd leave this here in case someone else runs into the same issue or similar. Problem was a pinched wire in the passenger side door (someone just HAD to have the lambo doors). The wire was pink and severed. Exposed wires were touching the hinge and grounding out. Found it when I was trying to clean the handles (looking for something registering as a touch). Noticed the door would try to lock/unlock only on that side when I didn't have the fob. Maybe this will help someone else. Working now though.

Lambo doors are the source of many wiring issues. I expect you'll have further problems with those wires later
