Stupid Questions
I would just like to begin with yes I searched and didn’t exactly get the information I wanted. 
Stupid Question # 1 I turn on the car, I notice that the car automatically locks the doors. I go to park my car, and with the engine still on, I try to open the door with the door handle and its locked and I can't open the door. The door will not automatically unlock unless I turn off the car which automatically unlocks the doors, or press the unlock button. Is this normal? If I had to assume I will say yes but it’s kind of weird that the door handle wouldn’t automatically unlock the doors.
Stupid Question # 2 I noticed that when I open and close my doors, the window goes down a little, and then go back up. Now I’m not saying it goes down 5 inches like the issue you would assume, it just goes down a tiny bit and goes back up. Is this normal?
I apologize for these really stupid questions and hope they help someone else one day. THANKS!
P.S. I recently installed an aftermarket 2 way alarm - Clifford Matrix 10.5X - Just incase this has anything to do with the above mentioned.

windows are normal..
I have an 03 and the doors do autolock when you start the engine. But I don't have to stop the engine to unlock them. You should be able to just push the unlock button on the door armrest (don't know what else to call it) or push the unlock button on the handle. My handle doesn't unlock it automatically when pulled.

Thanks a lot guys! These two things are completely normal then. I was just worried since I installed the alarm, maybe they had Fed up the wiring or something. Still trying to get used to the car. THANKS For the very quick responses!

Is your's an auto? I too have an 04 (manual) like a previous poster mentioned and my doors do not lock by themselves. It's a pretty common feature on automatic transmission cars these days though.

So it’s all good, once again this is a very kick *** forum, I didn’t expect my two questions to be answered in less than a minute! THANKS!

Damn that’s weird. After turning on my car, as long as the door is closed, the doors will auto lock, but I think if the door is open when I turn on the car, and then close the door, it does not auto lock. I need to test this out tomorrow.
