My driver side door locks when the handle is lifted to open the door from the outside. It's locked me out of the car with the car running. Any ideas of what's wrong with it?

 

This is two diffrent things..

The doors will stay locked if the engine is running dep on year of car, i know my 99 gsr has power locks and will do that, shut off the engine and the door locks open.

Now your also saying when the car is off and you lift the door handle from outside and it locks the doors?

 

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying

 

Its the cars saftey feature just like i said when you start the engine it automatically locks your doors, When the engine is shut off the doors will unlock.

Now if you leave your engine running and open your door and get out and shut the door it shouldnt lock the doors maybe your relay is getting old. Maybe im wrong but ill check my car tommarow with the windows rolled down theres something in the back of my head thinking it will lock the doors if the door is shut with he engine running..
