Could be a security feature, on the vehicle. Might have to be in gear. Some cars will not let you lock the doors if the key is in the ignition, usually newer models. If you are in the car, you may be able to lock the doors from the inside, using the switches inside the vehicle.

Why does my doge caravan doors lock when u start to warm it up as soon as you close the door you get locked out. Or when u have it started as soon as driver door closes the whole van locks?

You must have a "After Market Alarm" or something similar. The factory Auto door lock system doesn't lock the doors until the vehicle reaches 18 mph approximately.
So what I am saying is the Add-On Door Lock/Alarm System is malfunctioning - however some of those aftermarket systems can be programmed to lock doors with the engine running and Driver's door closed (they assume you will be sitting in the driver's seat at that time) It varies depending on which manufacturer built the system. I have seen on some of those systems they provide a small loopwire on the Module that can be cut to disable the Auto Door Lock feature - you might need the install manual to know which one.

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK AT FIRST

You need to look at the door lock actuators, I'm guessing 1 is operating but staying on when locked and draining the battery. Try manually locking the doors and see what happens. It may come down to removing the door trims and disconnecting each lock in turn, don't forget the boot lock, until you find the culprit. Its possible you may hear the lock solenoid humming or buzzing or feels warm as its trying to lock the door unsuccessfully.

Changed ignition and door locks and now my hyundai sonata wont start

Your original keys had a computer chip in them that is programed to your car's computer and you will have to have a dealership reprogram your new keys to match your car's computer. or if you still have the original ignition lock you can reinstall it and contact your local dealership and give them your car's Vin# which is located on title or vehicle registration. And most dealerships can make you a new ignition key. Then your car should sta

2004 Grand Vitara. Warming the car this morning, locked it.Came back with remote and a key and the doors would not unlock.Engine was running with the other key in it. Had to have a locksmith break in. Why...

don't have 2 fobs?
it cam with 2,
and the battery must be good.(for buttons to work on fob)
never run any car with only 1 fob or one key.
or get locked out.
are you saying the metal cut key end (pure mechanical ) failed?

my car has a real key with a a transponder inside .
it can open 2 ways, the keyfob buttons, (takes a good battery)
and the key metal end.

get a spare fob and program it.

2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE security system wont let car start

first most GM OEM systems will need to recognize the key first and foremost ,to do that you will need to roll window down on driver door,turn the key to the run position and with engine NOT running leave the key on for 10 minutes exactly ..then turn ignition off then try to start engine. if original system is working engine should start normally

Car wont stay Running,Door wont Lock-Unlock, Radio dont work and Trunk Pop don't work

It appears that you have an electrical short somewhere. If you are mechanically inclined and have hours of time and electrical knowledge, good luck! Sometimes these problems can be easily found where the wiring harness runs through the firewall from the fuse panel under the dash to the engine compartment relay box. Vibrations of the engine over time on a vehicle over 10 years old will chafe the wires over time on places where the wires lay over body frame components. Also heat and time on a cars wiring harness over a decade can damage wiring in the engine compartment or along exhaust manifold underneath. Try looking in those places for visible damage before tearing out all the interior or dash.
