I have a 95 s14 thats been converted to manual. At random times while I am driving or parked the doors unlock out of nowhere. Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?

A bad ground on your power lock switch.

I've got the same problem, but mine lock. Whever the car sits in the sun for awhile I have to battle my locks, and even then they will wait till I leave and then lock themselves. quite vexing

Further proof our cars are much more than machines. They have minds of their own.

It's still doing it Zach? That's so weird. It never happened when I owned it. Hope you get it figured out!

Do you have an alarm in your car? (that's also a remote auto (un)lock)

I had the EXACT same problem with my old car, for the longest time I thought it was haunted, but after I took out the safeway select alarm, it stoped. Guess it wasn't haunted...

....or was it..

a friend of mine (also with a 240) had a factory keyless entry on his car. his remote would lock and unlock my doors. (i have a aftermarket alarm on mine) my aftermarket alarm locks and unlocks this girls chevy malibu at work.

That'd be some fun if you all met up somewhere to eat or something.

In the parking lot.. yah.. you get the idea.

after you check your grounds, you might wanna find whatever module controls the door locks. Check the pins/connecter for corrosion or signs of a water. also looks for signs of arcing on the pins on the module side. and if you dont find anything there try replacing the module itself.
