BMW Repair/Door lock problem

Question
BMW 316i E36 1993

I got to lock my car TWICE,to stay locked. It is when i am locking my car with the key,and also happens with the remote. I've searching for a while on google but nothing found.Just something about module. I opened my car under the stearing wheel but i dont know how it looks like.There are many wires and staff.I have an alarm too

Answer
This sounds like more than you should get into.Not having a repair manual and not knowing what to do is also difficult.It sounds as if the locks maybe out of time with each other or one is binding,causing a double lock.Is the alarm factory or was it put in?If it is not factory you are now dealing with additional problems.Good luck
