Default doors unlock and unlock constantly

Have a 00 cherokee that just recently started locking and unlocking the doors while driving. Pulled the 25 amp mid-sized fuse in the passenger foot area and it stoped (obviously.) Then i disconnected the passenger side controls because thats what the fuse controls. Once it was disconnected, the problem stopped so i figured it was the passenger side controls. Went to the junkyard today and picked one up, put it in and its still doing it.

What could this possibly be?'

this is a small list of things i came up with
1. wires in area behind the fuses in foot well
2. wires in the door boot between chassis and door
3. driver side controls??
4. possessed vehicle
5. 2 bad switches which i highly doubt

any help would be nice, thanks

I would start by inspecting the wiring in the door openings, that is a known issue. good luck!

Also I saw in your sig you have a hid kit, what brand did you use??(sorry not trying to threadjack)

got them locally from a dealer on another forum, heres the link

im sure most kits now have the slim ballasts, but ive seen the older style ones and man were they bulky. These are easy enough to tuck away.

and yea, i guess ill start tearing into the door wiring. i hate that little area its in though haha. cant get the door open enough to work on it
