I'm probably using the car door wrong

When I lock my doors, 98, upon exiting I pull the handle... it unlocks the door and I find myself releasing the handle, and pulling it again to open the door.

Right. Is that first pull/unlock doing it MANUALLY or electrically? Sounds and feels electrical to me. I shall study it deeper

Logically, of course it would be manually, but doesnt feel like it is to me.

I’ll follow this topic with great interest. I have gotten locked in my car (a 98) a number of times. When it happens, no matter how many times I flip the handle, the door does not open. In those cases I have to lower the window and open the door with the outside handle. Based on this, I think if the battery died I could be trapped. I posted on this forum and the feedback was to swap out the ignition switch. I have now done that with no improvement. Someone also suggested either failure of or adjustment of the micro switch in the door. I haven’t yet worked through that one.
