Default problem with power door locks on my 993

The doors on my 96 993 Turbo will not stay locked. When I use the fob I can hear the locks engage but they immediately unlock. I tried resetting it according to the manual, but to no avail. When I try to lock the doors manually, the doors lock and unlock immediately. When I disconnect the battery, I can lock the doors manually and they will remain locked. Accuator? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know that on a 95, the doors won't lock if the driver's side door is open, irrespective of whether or not the pass side door is open. Maybe it has something to do with the button thing in the door jamb that checks to see it's closed or a bad wire from that thing to the door lock computer thingie.

That sounds like my wife after a long day...when I start talking to her she starts to engage, but immediately disengages also. Anyone have a wife-fob?
