2001 i30 weird door lock issue (yes I know its not a maxima but it pretty much is)

Suddenly there is this odd extra click when I open any of the 4 doors and they are locking themselves when I try to open from inside or outside. Any ideas? Seems electrical since it is affecting all doors instead of 1

I saw someone suggested on reddit that it could be a door lock actuator but wouldnt that just affect one door if it were the case instead of all 4? Would be hard to believe all 4 are bad at once suddenly

Check the function of each locking lever at each door manually.

so I switched out the main window/lock switch from a junk car and now my keyless entry only unlocks the driver side front door. This is such odd behavior.... Anyone got any other ideas?

Yeah I was going to suggest the master door switch in the driver's door. I had to replace both of my front door lock actuators to fix the strange problems with my car. It's been perfect ever since! Maybe try them if you've already done the switch.
