Default Power Locks going crazy

Sup guys,
My power door locks on 96 accord always pulses when they are in the lock position.
So the car keeps locking it self in the lock position.
When it is in the unlock position they are ok.
Its really annoying.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Yes, but the problem started before the alarm was ever installed.
I bought the car used, and there was no alarm previous to the one I installed my self.

That's usually a bad door lock actuator.

the die actuator is a 2 wire actuator the same as the one found in accords u just attach the pin on the dei to the rod that sends the lock up and down. and disconnect the 2 wires that lead to the old actuators and attach them to the new dei one. if u let a shop do it, it would be about 70 dollars for part and labor

I actually had this problem with my 96 ex, it lasted for about 2 months but then all of a sudden went away. Who knows. I had a dei alarm installed for a while, then the locks started to **** me off, then about 3 weeks ago it went away and I havent seen it since. It messed up a lot before, then slowly died down.
