Default AU central locking issue

Anyone know how to fix this issue?

I have a 99 AU that when you lock the doors via the remote the doors unlock/lock 3 times then stay unlocked. The horn beeps as if a door is open yet they are not.

being a 99 you au will be smartlock not smartshield so you'd be better of having a look through the e-series section...

Could it be a broken actuator in one of the doors?
