Electrical System · Latch
A few weeks ago, it started with the door ajar light, and gate open light coming on when nothing was open. A lot of ice build up (bad seals) made the driver door difficult to latch. A week ago we were driving and all of the locks started unlocking repeatedly. Now we can't even lock our truck, it unlocks itself. It does this whether the vehicle is on or not. It also turns on the interior lights. The switches do not…

Door locks keep locking and unlocking themselves. This is a hazzard since it does this while driving. It even does it when i'm not driving. I've already have had someone try to brake in. I'm going to guess that they heard the door locks go up and down. *ak 2 dodge dealerships that i've checked with say they have no clue.
