Don't do anything else until you try disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes. I have seen that exact pattern several times before, the LF door module has lost its mind.

Try doing what I said, I don't see a problem. You can touch the positive cable to the negative once it's disconnected, my understanding is that this will discharge any capacitors without harm. I never bother, I just pull off a cable.
