So i was driving my car today and when i stopped i noticed my doors were locked. so i hit the button to unlock it and nothing. Both buttons do nothing when u press them no sound or anything but if i let the car sit with the doors unlocked for a minute the doors lock themselves i have no aftermarket alarm and the stock alarm is not even hooked up. please let me know if u have any ideas why this is doing this.
 
There are electrical connectors on the ends of the door lock cylinders that are part of the electric lock system. One or both of these may be faulty/cracking and causing an intermittent connection, which could account for the weird behavior. Mine acted like this for a while until eventually failing completely.
