Thumbs down Power Locks Killing the battery

the power lock on my 98 XJ keep locking and unlocking on their own, and its killing the battery. I'm trying to sell this one so when someone ask to start it... a dead battery and having to jump it isn't really a good thing Since the fuse controls the windows as well I'm looking for a solution. my only thought right now is to pull all the door panels off and unplug the power locks in all the doors and rear hatch. if this has been answered in another thread please send me the link, I couldn't find one

Any is greatly appreciated

Do you have a remote keyless entry on there?
I'd pull the connector for the door panel controls and see if it stops doing it.

the keyless isnt working either. not to worried about that though. had the batter tested the other day told it is normal.

To pull the conector, would the main one controlling the door locks be in the passenger or drivers side door?

On a 2001 GC it's on the passenger side.
