So, it was nice here in Kansas for about 3 days, then today snow is dumped on us. Drove the car around a couple of times during the day, but then when going to the store a bit at night, I noticed that it keeps locking itself. Came back, went inside, then I stepped out for a second and it is still doing this (no honk or anything like when you lock it from the remote).

Just wondering if maybe some snow got in between the sheet metal and door card and it just needs to dry out or what? Is there a fuse or something I can pull that will just disable the locks so it doesn't drain the battery?

Also, would this be in any way related to the window switch recall? I would want to be a bit prepared before I talk to the (yikes) dealer about it.

Car info: 2007 Sport A/T with about 65,000 miles on it. Thanks for any information. I tried searching but no luck.

 

Woah that's weird. I had something similar happen years ago on a Honda but that was a 12v cooler plugged into the (supposedly unpowered when off) power outlet. It would unlock the doors randomly every few minutes, which was terrible until I figured it was that as I was on vacation out of state.

 

Well, it was doing again this morning, so I went down started the car, and drove it around (don't know how much power it takes to lock, but figure as much as 10 times a minute for ~8 hours) and now the problem isn't there. Found the fuse for the door locks, might just pull that if the problem acts up again.

 

Anybody got feedback or quick fix to this?
My car also started doing this last week where the doors kept locking and unlocking it self. Then when I lock it, the alarm would go off on its own for no reason.
We had pouring rain last couple days and I suspect my door switches got rained on and messed up the connections. After a few days it dried off and problem gone.

But does anyone know for sure and have a solution?

Thank you!!

 

This happened to me as well about 9-10 months ago. People in the parking lot were walking by my car and hearing it lock and unlock and kept coming to tell me. It happened for maybe 2 days, and by the time I got it to the dealer it had stopped. My window had a tiny crack open during a rain a few days before and I think that had something to do with it.

 

I bought a set of window visors to hopefully help somewhat with this problem (especially the hot summer we're having this year, I always leave a crack open). I felt so paranoid about having my car unlocked for the whole night when I encountered this issue. But as mentioned, after the door dried off the next couple days, it went back to normal operation.

Anybody have a quick fix to this yet? Thanks!
