A family member has a key fob and is messing with you.

Could be radio interference on the channel your remote uses. Could also be a shorted or faulty keyless entry module.

Check for a bad ground. I have a van that did that, one of the grounds were exposed and was causing it to lock/unlock.

Time for a new remote... wink Electrical gremlins can be hard to find; my dad's Park Ave came down with the "blinking headlights and interior display syndrome" yesterday. Heard a clicking sound behind the dash; traced it to a headlight module. Since the lights wouldn't shut off, I bought a new module. Of course, right after I ordered it, the problem went away! :rolleyes:

Use your spare key+fob for a while, leave the possible culprit at home, and see if thats it.

yeah, as stated earlier, if you dropped it in water that could be the culprit

Yup, leave your Keyfob at home for a few days, if it still does it, take it to an auto electric specialist, could be a short somewhere
