Issue with car alarm? Remote will unlock/disarm and arm but won't lock the car.?

I have a Python alarm/keyless-entry system installed on my car. I had installed a set of fog lights on my car and since then, the alarm remote can unlock/disarm the car but it can't lock the car, it will only arm the alarm.

I checked the power lock fuse but its fine, which would make sense because I can lock and unlock all the doors with the switch on the door panel.

So now when I leave my car, I have to press the lock button on my door panel, than press the remote to arm the alarm. Again, there are no issues with the remote unlocking/disarming the car.

It's also not an issue with the remote. I've tried both of them and the car still does the same. Is my Python system salvageable or do I need a new one? What went wrong? Thank you.

    Disconnect the battery then disconnect the wiring for your fog lights, reconnect the battery and check the alarm and if it works have someone that knows what their doing connect the wiring to the correct power source, if it still acts up then you cooked it.
