Door locks and unlocks several times

[midNight Sun Xpress]

I have a 91, european. I do not have remote control for locking/unlocking. When I unlock the door with key or the button inside, the electic circuits seems to live their own life for a moment. The door starts to lock/unlock anything from 5-30 times before stopping. This will also stop if I lock the door, either with key or button. I have checked for corrosion and loose contacts inside the door.
Did not find anything on the FAQ so I need help on this topic.

If it is anything like any other Honda/Acura like Accords or my Legend, it is the door lock actuator going bad. Replacement is the fix.

my 95 Legend does this all the time. Also if I dont lock the car at night the alarm will sound and the neighbors get pissed. So dont leave you doors unlocked or you may wake up to honk honk honk. If you fix it please post the price so maybe I can fix my Legend, I have not noticed anything like this on my nsx.

With the Legend, you have two choices. One is to remove the door lock actuator and try and clean the contacts. That usually works for a while but the problem will eventually return after a while. The other solution is the buy a new door lock actuator. The dealer cost parts and labor is about $350 or so. The part itself I believe it about $150. If you can pull the actuator out yourself it will save you labor cost. I am a regular member on the Legend Forums and this has been discussed many times before. I've had 3 G2 Legend Coupes and all had some sort of door lock actuator problem in one form or another sometime after 70K miles.

Door lock actuator failures are usually related to moisture getting into the contacts. Locking/ unlocking from the passenger door will allow you to deactivate the alarm should you be upsetting your neighbors.
Part #72150-SL0-A03, price for the part approximately $431.35 anticipate about two hours labor for installation.

Thanks for all inputs. As for the momemnt, I have my doorpanels off due to repair of amps. I will make a closer inspection on the actuator.
