So today my door locks desided to keep locking on there own started out it would do it every few minutes then every few seconds then constant, i thought the lock motors were going to fry befor i could get home, everytime i would hit a bump it would get better or worse so im assuming there is a connection problem somewhere, this does have factory keyless entry... any spots to check would be appreciated i had to pull the battery cable to make it stop
 






the locks have for the most part stopped acting up to bad, i reseated the connector on the keyless entry module in the rear, but now the locks only sometimes lock when i start the car and 50% of the time dont unlock when shut off.... what module controls the automatic door locks?

Thanks
 






They actually unlock themselves? Mine never did that, they'd auto-lock, but then not unlock when I shut it off, that's why I disabled the system in mine.

I'd say the most likely culprit is the wire loom in the drivers door, where it passes between the door and the cab, wires tend to break/short in there quite a bit.
