I was playing in the woods yesterday. I guess I got some water some where because my locks started acting up. They keep on locking, about once a second. I haven't had the chance to look at it today, but wanted to post this asap to see if any one has a clue. If I hold the drivers unlock button to "unlock" for a few seconds, it stops, but as soon as you close a door, or hit a button again, it goes back to locking. I have the 30AMP big fuse (power dist block in the engine comartment) pulled out for now, but that also does the windows and other things.

I figure problem can be in:
1) one of the switches (4 doors + the hatch)
2) the keyless entry pad
3) my remote, or the "brain" for it. It's stock, any one know where the brain is?
4) the ecm maybe even? I know the code for the keyless entry is stored in there.

Any other ideas? I'm gonna get to work, and if there's a change, I'll post it. Thanx much,

That happened on my BII once. Traced the problem to a wet connector, which was shorting the power lock circuit to ground.
