I had the same problem as yours and replaced the
drivers side actuator and that fixed it.  I believe
the drivers side actuator locks because you manually
push it down with your key and is able to send a
signal to the other actuators electronically.  But
when you manually lock on the passenger side, their
isn't enough electro-mechanical umpf to get the
drivers side to engage so the system goes crazy and
does the cycling up and down thing.  I vote for
replacing the driver's side actuator.

Good Luck!
