Might be the actuator sticking? I'd try taking the actuator out, strip and clean, lube and back together again unless anyone has a better idea. Might be worth trying the connector behind the A-post too.

Did you bypass the correct switch there are three of them in the lock. Connections at bottom of A post behind trim is also a good shout from Grrrrr.
