Default Unusual AU central locking problem

I had the standard busted actuator problem with my AU1 XR6 (LF and RR) so I replaced the two busted actuators with units from a wreckers. Since then, the car locks fine, but whenever I unlock with the remote or open any door there are three clicking sounds (you can hear the relay and all of the door motors going) as if the doors are trying to unlock. Any ideas what the problem could be? I've done a search and can't seem to find anything like this.

That'll be one of the sensors in the lock motors, at a guess. Try unplugging the door looms one at a time to isolate the door in question, then you may be able to adjust the linkage to fix it.
