    So last night, leaving work as I occasionally do, I fired up my car and let it warm up a bit. I started driving and I heard a funny mechanical clicking. I looked over and my locks were bouncing up and down in bursts. It was highly unusual. I felt like I was in that movie poltergeists. Anyone have experience with this issue? Any ideas of how I could track down the problem?

      If it was after it rained, check for water leaks. That could narrow down your search for possible shorts.

        Im going to see if it does it today and report back. If its a matter of a water short it should clear up fastly.

          Fixed. Hung over as hell, I pulled my door panel and removed the faulty micro-switch, and replaced with one from my E28. The locking system was freaking out because the plug had come partially out of the power unit and was making contact over bumps. I could have done a micro-switch picture how to thread, but I was in so much pain from being hung over that I just didnt care.
