Had the same problem with mine which turned out to be a broken can bus wire in the door loom. Easy to fix if not a bit time consuming.

Had the same problem with mine and it didn't recognise the drivers door had been or was open..
New lock solved it.. Glad it wasn't a module as there was non in the country at the time, and it was still under warrantee..
