Default Electronic door lock malfuntion

1992 Camry. Came out to unlock my car and doors not locked. Tried to lock drivers side door with key and it locks then unlocks. I get in car and start it up, it locks the doors then unlocks immediately afterward. I can push the electronic door lock switch on the panel and it does the same thing. I can lock the door with the manual button over the door and it stays locked. Anyone have a solution or place to start looking for the problem.

Check the door switches to make sure they are closing.

And

The wiring between the drivers door and chassis can be damaged by constant door usage. This is a common issue resulting in this type of problem plus power window problems.

Thanks for the help Toyomoho! When referring to door switches, where will I find them? In the door by the actuator or in the door panel itself? I'll check the wiring in the door and along the frame for crimping or breakage. I really appreciate your help!

The switches woud be on the door jam below the center roof pillar between front and rear seats.
