Driver side door unlock
Hey Guys,
When I walk to my car with the fob in my pocket, I reach for the door pad and hold it there for a second so the door opens. But it sounds like the car is unlocking twice. It makes two distinct sounds as I open the door. It does not do this on the passenger side. Anyone know what is going on?
Thanks.

You are hearing the gas tank lid solenoid chattering. No problem with the car.

yep fuel door unlocking. I swear mine clicks two or three times. This is one of the WTF GM things as my wife's Infiniti has a locking fuel door yet it doesn't make a peep.

That's super odd. So it unlocks the gas door every time I open the driver side door? I feel like I am going to be replacing lock solenoids often in this car. Anyway to separate the two?
