Hey guys,

I have tried searching but the info I found related to door lock timers (clicking sound).

My problem is that all of my doors do indeed lock (either w/ key or using the master driver's side button), however when I come back in the morning, all the doors are open.

Sometime during the night, they magically open by themselves. I know for sure that no one is playing a trick on me and that this is definately a problem.

Please help.

Is it definately the lock timers or something else. Perhaps a relay or fuse or something. Please help me out. I have been lucky, so far nobody has stolen or vandalized the car.

I know this'll sound retarded (so don't flame me for it...), but what are the odds you live near an airport, or park the car near anything that can produce large micro-wave's - like hydro wires?
I know it sounds far fetched, but I just saw a program the other day that discussed such electrical 'gremlins' and their cause. In one case, a guy would come home every night after work - put his car in the garage - then the next morning the garage door would be wide open - but nothing was missing. Cops and scientist finally figured out that whenever a 747 flew over his house (he live near an airport - obviously...), that the micro-waves the planes electronics produced would trigger his particular garage door opener to operate on it's own.
Hey......, remeber....., I DID say it would sound retarded!

Doubtfull.... I think it requires a little more 'juice' than that. Oh, and I (sort of?) remembered where I saw that info. It wasn't a TV program - it was on an automotive industry (what I work in) web site. Unfortunately, I don't have the same bookmarks at home, that I use in the office. If I can find it again Monday (and I remember), I'll post the story.

Interference with garage door openers is fairly common. I would seriously doubt that it would cause doors of a car to unlock. What are door lock timers?

When my dlt was bad, I took it apart and solder it and it will automatically lock the doors. When I insert the key to unlock the doors, it will struggle with me and wants to lock. I got another one from the junk yard for $20 and the problem was history.
