Door Locks itself even when driving or idle

Hey everyone, I've got an 03 OZ that I've put back together from the previous owner who had no idea what they were doing. Two nights ago while driving, the door locks decides to automatically click lock and unlock a few times and then stays locked. I thought it might be a minor issue but with it even done while driving or idling, it causes problems since I deliver food to people lol. Anyone had this happen to them? For the time being, I just pulled the door lock fuse so that it doesn't lock on me. Any thoughts would be great.

This has happened to me too. My problem was the sensor on the driver's door handle key cylinder had gotten loose and was false triggering.

Ah!!! That makes sense!! I had to replace the door because it was damaged from the prior owner so I got another and kept the cylinder. It was getting loose when I kept using the key to get into the car until I got new remotes. Thanks!! I'll check that out and tighten it up and see if it helps on my next day off. Thanks @Biggiesacks !!!
