Default Your power door locks ever do this??

On at least two occasions the power door locks in the PT have gone crazy

They all of a sudden start locking and unlocking by themselves, faster and faster... which makes it impossible to park anywhere, because it is locking and unlocking by itself. Not oly that, but of course you can hear the relays "click" "click" a nice invitation for a would-be car thief

We took it to the dealer, but unfortunately it has completely stopped by then.

I've unhooked the battery, and still the same thing happens.

I have to wait until it runs it's course

anyone else have this? any suggestions?

Thanks IRPT. Been busy. Between doing a minor inventory and of course, checking out the threads, I didn't really have the time to do the searching. We can count on you IRPT. You save people alot of time. Thanks.

The replacement of the key cylinder switches in the doors and hatch solved the problem. Now if Chrysler can only figure out why the trip-odometer resets to "0" for no reason!
