I have a problem with my front door locks popping up occasionally after hearing a clicking noise under the dash near the steering column. The clicking noise is the same as when I use my turn indicator switch except sometimes it clicks rapidly, lasting for a couple seconds. At times the noise cant be heard at all. Also I noticed a clicking sound when I use my windshield wipers. But that clicking has a rhythm to it. I never noticed my windshield wipers clicking before this problem. The clicking noise is a sound similar to the sound a geiger counter emits as it gets close to radiation. I wasn't even aware the van had power locks until this happened. Anyone know what could be causing the front door locks to pop up from the locked position?

Maybe somebody added keyless entry that's now malfunctioning?

After this happened, I would say "Yes" there definitely is a keyless entry installed in the van. I saw there is an alarm on the van. But the alarm appears to be disconnected. I still haven't figured it out. :silvervan: I was thinking it's Radio Frequency Interference. Like if someone were to put a GPS tracker on the vehicle and there is a keyless entry installed too, there could be some conflict causing RFI. I don't know. Just a guess. I think I'll take it up to a shop that installs alarms and see what they say.
