    This happens randomly and is a PITA...

    The truck is locked and when I grab the handle to unlock/open the door, the door lock actuator chirps once - relocking the truck. If I grab or touch it again, nothing happens. Again, this happens randomly - sometimes it double chirps and unlocks perfectly.

    If I use the key fob, everything works perfectly. I already replaced the key fob battery thinking it might be part of the problem, but it still acts up every so often.

    Is there a reset for the entire system I can try? I know I can use the headstock unit to change the opening set-up from just driver's door to all doors (which I did years ago)...

    Could it be the actuator is going or something in the handle that is causing the actuator to be thrown off?
