1: Check that all wires through the door jamb boot have continuity, i.e. no broken wires 2: Check that both front door lock motors are working/running when activated 3: Disassemble lock motors and clean all contacts, make sure that the springs behing the one contact are not rusted or broken. These are the methods I use (in order) to repair the ones I find not working. One dead motor or broken wire or corroded contact can cause the cycling you describe. Karl
