Default Doors automatically lock themselves

last week i replace the headlight switch and found some wire hacking under the dash. not sure what is suppose to go where but everything has always seem to work properly until this weekends offroading trip. everytime I would get out of the jeep the blinkers would blink and the doors would lock. I had to keep the remote in my pocket all weekend. Where or what should I look for in order to resolve this? thanks...also there is a small black box under the dash with multiple wires. two wires go to a small toggle switch moundted under the dash. what is this for?

Remove you driver side door panel. Check to make sure your plugs are seated. Door lock and window while you're in there. Had the same issue and that fixed my problem.
