If you unlock it with the remote, open the door, close it....it locks.
If you lock it with the remote, unlock it from inside, close the door...it locks.
Same things happen with locking/unlocking with the key.

I gave up searching.
The system depends on a system of change over switches, some operated by the lock button and or key. These would appear to be the likely culprits. The levers which mechanically operate them could be out of adjustment, something detached, or a switch in itself could be faulty.

Think about it, watch what happens when you operate the various functions, and follow your nose. Obviously this will require removal of the door panel.
