Try leaving the fob in the house while you smoke and see what happens.

I lock the doors even when it's in my garage as I have a Glock in it. Dan

Good Lord, I do the exact same thing! Great minds think alike. :thumbsup: So far no problems with it having a mind of it's own.

 

Humm something isn't right. The locks should do nothing no matter where you are around the car until you put your hand behind the door handle or press the button on the door handle to lock it.
Like said above see if anything happens with key fob not on you. If it does then something may be wrong with the fob, or some other keyless access component on the car. Not sure if it could be the issue, but I read in another post of a similar problem and someone suggested replacing the fob battery. Could try that as well since it's cheap and easy.

 

JTS, I replaced the batteries right after I bought it.

Just to see if it made a difference, I used the fob to lock it last evening. I'm back in my smokin' chair now so I'll see if that made a difference.

I guess it's no big deal but touching an exterior button is quicker and easier.

Well, using the fob button worked in that the locks haven't unlocked on their own since I locked them 2 days ago with the key fob.

Strange in that the door lock buttons should work that way too.

Thanks for the repiies.

Mine don't unlock but I notice an occasional buzz noise if I'm working around the Jeep with the fob in my pocket.

 

Mine unlocks randomly too whenever i wash my jeep with the fob in my pocket. I'll see the lights flash as if its being unlocked. My fix is to keep the fob on my toolbox and out of my pocket.

 

I've never noticed the lights do that but I will pay more attention next time. Another weird thing I've had with my locks, is when I press the button on the handle to lock, the lights will flash but won't lock. Only once I press twice will it lock. Any ideas on that?

 

Any chance your activating the button by moving around in the chair or while getting up?

 

No, it just activates the locks/lights with no pressure on it.

As others have said, maybe it's a too sensitive fob or a faulty door lock.

It's also possible that there is a problem with the door handle. If the handle thinks it is asserted (hand in there, like the water situation) it will continue to interrogate the FOB and if you are in range (3' to 4') the door could unlock. I have seen the same problem...

I had a door handle problem in my 2013 charger (same symptoms) and it was replaced and it solved the problem. I hang my keys inside the house on the other side of the wall (short distance from the car (4') and when I noticed the car trying to unlock periodically once from the spare set which resulted in a dead battery the morning after I brought it home..

Just something else to check... Good luck
