Unhappy Door locking/unlocking acting weird since K-1

I don't know if it's related, but a couple of hours after I picked up my car with K-1 installed, the door locks started acting weird. When I unlock with key, buttons jump up and down 3 or 4 times and stay locked. This happens 2 or 3 times and will unlock after still jumping up and down. Same thing happens if I use key to lock doors or even if doors lock automatically over 10 mph. Oddly, doors unlock fine when I open the driver's side door.

Do you think this could be related to reprogramming of ECU by Kleemann? I hope not. Any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix?

Thanks.

I know when I disconnected my battery for a length of time there's a procedure to follow to get them working properly again.... Just throwing ideas out there.
