i have some weird things going on. see if you have any help. lately my alarm has been going off at random times. i don't have a keyless remote and i turn it off by the door code. what could make this happen???? also my automatic doors don't alway lock.. and when they do it might be 10 miles down the road after taking off?
 






A lot of electrical issues, including random alarms, can be related to broken/damaged wires in the boot between the body and the driver's door. I, along with several members, have resolved electrical issues by repairing the wire(s). It could also be an issue with the "door ajar" switch. If you do a search for door ajar you will find a bunch of threads.

In the meantime:

HHere is a great thread for removing the door panel and dealing with the door ajar switch, thanks to borland for the awesome write-up: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=249253
