This is a well known problem with Elantra of that vintage,
is connected with the wiring harness going through the door.
Take the fuse out and just manually open and close all
the doors. that was my solution for this problem.
The dealer refused to do the fix because we were out of
the warranty period by a few days, but still well under
the milaeage. this has condtioned me into thinking
of some other make for my next car purchase.

Funny, that is how I got from a Buick to a Sonata. Over miles, under time,
no help for a non-moving part failure.
Since I pass the Buick dealership at least twice a day, I do get some
satisfaction by waving to the salesman if he is out there.

yes. I know the feeling, the trouble is the Elantra has been such
a good car for me, so will probably stay with it.

Yeah I did see the TSB on the corrosion of the connectors in the
doors.

Check your power lock fuse. Often, one of the actuators shorts. O
course, it could also be the wiring corrosion mentioned above
