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... 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

Mine did that but it had nothing to do with the key fob.
It was a bad fuse. Sorry I can't recall which fuse but you can try the fuse for the door lock first.
EDIT: http://www.grandprix.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=007131;p=1#000001
On my end it was the MAP sensor. When I replaced it, the on/off locking stopped. Note I did have a code but the SES light wasn't on. I knew I had a code only because of the Aeroforce gauge. Your MAP sensor may be bad also. Why the map sensor affected the locks? Either the misinformation from the MAP + tranny position told the computer to unlock thinking it was in park. Dunno.

That's crazy... I have no idea how a MAP sensor could cause that!

Sorry for the late response.
Mine was completely random. About every 5 to 20 seconds.
Now the interior light flashing, that's different. Click noise? Now I am sensing short. Still recommend getting it scanned.
