passenger locks locking automatically??? help

my passenger locks (both back doors and front passenger) are locking automatically these days, sometimes on their own, most of the time when i close the driver door...has anyone had this problem? if so, how do you fix it?

thanks

Too weird... that has happened to me twice now, about 2 months apart. One day, my buddy & went for lunch. Using the remote, I tried to unlock the passenger doors but they kept on locking up on their own. When they locked up, the marker lights DID NOT flash twice as when I lock the car with the remote. My friend thought I was playing a trick on him but I said I'm not. Things are okay....for now.

lol...I have the same problem. It doesn't happen all the time, but just enough time that it's starting to get on my nerves. I have no idea what is causing it.

I would unlock the driver side door, then tried to unlock the rest of the doors, which did unlock, but then locked back again. This get on my nerves because I would keep my schoolbag in the back. I unlocked the door to get the schoolbag which did unlock, but as I about to put the keys into my pocket, the door would lock back automatically. WTH?!

that happens to me when the doors are in the process of being unlocked, ie I hit the unlock all button inside the car, but the signal has just been sent, and they are about to be unlocked. If somebody tries to open the door from the outside at this instant, the doors will lock, and good luck getting them open. annoying as hell

As per the last post, ususally happends to me only when I start to unlock the door and someone tries to open it. I just open up all hte doors, manually swich the lock to open and then hit lock and unlock to kinda set the system up again.

You know what's weird?? Mine used to do that. I bought the replacement door lock parts and was looking a for a time to put them in. It's been a year and a half now and my car has completely stopped doing that. Still have the new lock parts sitting around.

I have no idea what made it stop

According to alldata.com there is a TSB on this problem.

" 01-025 JAN 02 Power Door Locks - Intermittently Lock By Themselves"


My wife 1998 QX4 also has the same problem. Anybody have access to actually read what the TSB posted above says?
