Pepo1 Posted August 5, 2024 Share Posted August 5, 2024 (edited) After locking the vehicle, it unlocks itself (all doors) within a short period of time. If I leave it, it starts randomly locking and unlocking repetitively. I'm currently leaving it unlocked everywhere I go and need to sort it out. Any ideas or suggestion appreciated. Vehicle does not use a key fob, just a key. Edited August 5, 2024 by Pepo1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALPATHY Posted August 6, 2024 Share Posted August 6, 2024 Time to call Ghostbusters! Kiding asides, sounds like a short, possibly in one of the door switches. Does it do it from either side and just by key or the door panel lock switches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To help troubleshoot you should try key both sides and also the door panel switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the central locking only works from the driver's door, and it does the same thing when manually switching. I think it's a short as I tried it again this morning and it didn't do it. Maybe just some moisture got in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALPATHY Posted August 8, 2024 Share Posted August 8, 2024 Hm, my 1997 Pathfinder locks from both sides. so either a circuit interrupt or short. If moisture, try Boeshield T-9 spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherever you think there may be moisture on electrical connections, it is a water displacing lubricant that leaves a protective waxy film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
