    I'm having a problem where my doors unlock by themselves. I can be driving and it will unlock multiple times. If I am at work and my car is parked and locked, I can hear them unlocking as I'm walking away. I have aftermarket key fobs that work perfectly fine (just got them yesterday) thinking it would fix the problem but it didn't. Is this an easy fix? If not what kind of shop would I go to and have this fixed? I'm pretty sure this issue has been mentioned once before... but after going through 10 pages, I gave up.

    Thanks in advance. =]

    Do you leave a key fob in the car and carry the other in your pocket. Systems these days know if there is a fob in the car and you lock it with the other one in there it will unlock, because it thinks you pretty much locked your keys in the car.

    Both key fobs are out of the car. I had this problem before I programmed the key fobs. I took the BCM MALL fuse out and manually had to unlock my door and passenger doors. Doesn't make me feel too safe.

    The connection with the key fobs are fine. I think it's an electrical problem. Like I said, I had this problem before programming the key fobs.

    Came across this,,,,maybe you saw it
    After the main question and answer there is a 'view follow up'
    They say it might be a pinched wire shorting sporadically

    Does the car have an aftermarket alarm or remote starter?

    have you tried to pull the batteries in the fobs to see if they are indeed whats activating it? If your car was moving and unlocking I could point you in the right direction.
