lock unlock relock over and over problem
pretty sure this didnt happen before but then again ive only had the car about a month and yet to get it on the road
we working on a 95 xj6 base model U.S.
the issue is when arming the car with the fob it locks all doors unlocks all doors and relocks i believed cycles like 3 times L,U,L,U,L,U,L finally ending on locking all doors
i noticed this after i replaced the driver inside door cable so the inner door handle would work.
also not sure if related or coincidence but the damn passenger front door stopped opening on the outside too now. which means i gotta pull the door panel on that side too and the driver door panel is already giving me hell with the shitty push pins on this car
so tldr wierd lock unlock cycle HELP thank you

I had a similar lock/unlock issue, which arose also immediately after replacing the drivers door lock cable/wire. Inspection showed that the new cable was a tiny bit shorter than the original, thus, preventing the door from locking. II reverted to the original cable and problem solved.
I have red of other owners having similar issues with new/replacement cables. You might check to see that the cable is routed along the shortest, most direct route, minimising the tension on the wire. Otherwise, see if you can gain a bit of slack at the inside pull handle or lock mechanism. The difference in cable lengths is minimal, but enough to cause an issue.
