Mystery door locking

[bearmarm]

When I am sitting in park, the doors often will lock when I touch the door handle or window button, ideas? Bad sensor somewhere?

Just locking/unlocking problem or radio turns off and on when you do something like turn on the signals, headlights etc

 

[bearmarm]

It is only locking.

The door lock setting have no impact.

Mine does the same thing. Did you ever figure it out?

Bump, Same thing here.

 

[bearmarm]

Yes, I am still living with this. Don't get the mail without rolling the window down or I'm screwed.

I wonder if it is a defective door latch? If I hold the handle so it doesnt latch and pull the door closed a few times, that will often trigger it.

Edit: nevermind, just happened when I put it in park before touching the door.
I did find remnants of a mouse nest on top of my transmission, right next to the fuse box earlier this year...

We have been having this problem with our 2013 off and on - always have a spare key or keep the window open. Our 2017 is not possessed yet ..... still haven't been able to find any reliable resolution

New door latch solved it for me

Any one that says front left. Drivers door was the one that caused my locking issue.

I got the cheap Ultra-Power brand

 

[bearmarm]

Got the part. No idea how to separate it from the linkages.

For one of them, the orange clip should snap open.

For the one that goes to the lock on the handle, I removed the door handle and after that was out it made it easier to unhook.

Side note, be careful to no over rotate the thing on the back of the lock cylinder.
I did and a spring popped out, took me like and hour to get back in!

My car is also strange, I was on vacation 2 weeks, it was parked in a garage, but before my return, the car alarm started to go off, just like that, without any shocks and irritations.
does anyone know what that means?

Drivers door lock actuator will solve the mystery locking and unlocking. You can get one on eBay relatively cheap and install yourself if mechanically inclined. There’s YouTube videos of how to do it.
Hope that helps y’all.
