Crazy Door Locks

wildwestm3 · 09-12-2017, 07:00 AM

Anyone run into a problem with your door locks? Mine seem to get a mind of their own and lock, unlock, lock, unlock at random times. It happens while I'm driving. It's totally random. Also, there are times that the comfort access doesn't want to work (i.e. won't unlock/lock the car by touching the door handle). I'm thinking I may have some door lock gremlins...

First make sure you're not sitting on your key fob, that could lock/unlock the car. Personally I think that's unlikely but it happened to me once or twice where I go to sit in the car and it locks as I sit...

Secondly, could be the sensor on one of your door handles going bad...

Sounds like either your battery or key fob battery.
