My door locks have been cycling a lot lately. They've done it before but never as much as they do now. Regardless if the door is locked or unlocked they will first unlock and then lock. Some times it does it again, some times not. I doubt its the ignition going bad because that would cut the car off right? It does have a stock alarm system in it. I've never fooled with it, and 90% of the time I don't use it because sometimes it just doesn't work (as in pushing the unlock/lock button does nothing). It seems to do it a lot more when I'm pushing the clutch (my alarm box is zip tied/on a hanger thing above it) but I don't believe my foot is hitting it. Any ideas? I kinda just wanna take the alarm out, no use in having something I don't use.

Mine did the same thing, but I didn't have a stock alarm. After going in and looking at the box, turned out the people who installed it didn't ground it very well, so I drilled a new hole and ground it. Works perfectly now. Maybe it's a ground or a short like FrankB2 was saying.
