? ghost in my auto door locks - Impreza Outback Sport 98

[mmoore]

Last week my auto-locks started engaging every 30 to 50 seconds or so.
Sometimes it stops but starts back up again, seemingly when I brake or use
the turn signal, but this could just be coincidence. Any ideas?

Have a unsealed rear light cover that gets rainwater in it. Could this
have anything to do w/ it?

The first thing I would eliminate is the hand held door opener/closer.
Leave it at home and go for a ride. Then I'd fix the rear light. Next
remove the door switch that allows you to open/close all the doors
from the arm rest. If those ideas don't fix it then Hggggg go looking
for an intermittent short.

Fix that rear light. There are Subies that have issues with melting solder
on the base of the brake light bulbs that leads to very unusual electrical
problems caused by electrical back feed circuits being created.
Replace/inspect the bulb(s) first.

just as something else to try is the electrical system getting full
voltage all the time as an alternator that is playing up could cause
this
