Default Door locks going crazy!?

Well as im driving to work this morning my door locks start locking and unlocking out of no where!?? wat the hell.....anyway it could be the battery in the remote going dead? Ive looked for a short in the wire harness for each door so I finally just unhooked the passenger door harness that hooks to the door switch panel. Any ideas, im stumped. Never had an electrical issue before. Thanks guys.

The FBI is after you. They're trying to keep you confined in your Jeep.

Have you gotten any of the electrical parts wet while trailing?

Do your doors come off? Mine come off and I had the same problem. It was the passenger side to. I just pulled the fuse and lock them manually. I couldn't find a short anywhere. Interested in what you find out.

We had this problem in our 2000 XJ. We had to replace the passenger side switch. A 60 dollar part from rock auto. Hasn't happened since

Thanks guys, im going to replace the remote battery first and see if that does it.....if not then I'll replace the door switch itself and see if that does the trick. I'll let ya'll know what it ends up being.
