What makes the power door locks engage and disengage on its own stop until battery is run down?

There are a few things that could cause the power door locks to engage and disengage on their own, stopping until the battery is run down.

* A faulty door lock switch. The door lock switch is what tells the car when to lock and unlock the doors. If the switch is faulty, it could be sending a false signal to the car, causing the doors to lock and unlock repeatedly.

* A faulty door lock actuator. The door lock actuator is the mechanism that actually locks and unlocks the doors. If the actuator is faulty, it could be causing the doors to lock and unlock repeatedly.

* A faulty wiring connection. The wiring connection between the door lock switch and the door lock actuator could be faulty, causing the doors to lock and unlock repeatedly.

* A faulty control module. The control module is the computer that controls the power door locks. If the control module is faulty, it could be sending a false signal to the door lock switch or door lock actuator, causing the doors to lock and unlock repeatedly.

If you are experiencing this issue, it is important to take your car to a qualified mechanic to have it diagnosed and repaired.
