2003 ford sport trac
Hello my name is Lauri, I hope you can help me! When I put on the brakes of my 2003 explorer sport trac it unlocks and locks, interior lights come on and off, door ajar light blinks on and off and a buzzer comes on and off! Can someone help me
 






Sounds like it's possessed... Actually I found this:

To activate the two-step unlock system the GEM requires that there must be two transitions of the unlock switch. After the GEM senses the first transition, it unlocks that door where the transition occurs and illuminates the courtesy lamps. There is a five-second window that begins from the first transition of the unlock switch. If within that window, a second unlock command is sensed by the GEM, the GEM will energize a relay to unlock all the doors after the second transition of the unlock switch returns to the vertical position in the door lock cylinder."

I wish I had some advice as to how to fix the issue, but at least you now know which system is causing the issue.

My guess is that there is an intermittent connection, possibly in the harness that goes from the body into the doors.
