locks and unlocks itself with every bump
I can figure iut why but every time i hit even the smalled bump my cherokee locks and unlocks itself i cant figure out why so i took the fuse out to stop it, it has an aftermarket viper alarm without remote start. I tried reseting the computer and then everytime i touch the oos terminal to the battery it locks and unlocks as well. The door buttons to unlock and lock dont work now they worked fine before.

Check the wire loom that goes from the kick panel to the front doors for any damage. You wil have to remove the plastic to see the wires.

Nothing damaged at all it all looks fine. Could it be the wires/ connections in the door itself where the switches are? (Windows work fine)

Yep. My passenger side door connections at the trim panel were loose, and it caused it to fire off constantly. I reconnected them and secured them a bit with some adhesive and it has held up better.

Okay guys ive figured it out. I was cleaning out my jeep today and i hit the factory remote sensor (on the ceiling) and it locked the jeep. So i just unplugged it and plugged it back in and now everything works even my viper alarm. Thanks for the help guys.
