Locks are triggered by the door lock switch and interior door lock switches. One of these is probably worn/loose causing intermittent contact.

It may be painful to find which is causing the problem. Most likely are driver's door lock switch or driver's door lock key switch. You might try cycling the door lcok key switch and spraying some WD40 into the key entry point. WD40 can work wonders on switches,...if you can get it to the switch.

Otherwise, you'll need to remove door panel to access key switch.

good luck

The door lock actuator can also cause the door lock to cycle.

Here is a post from another forum on how you can repair the actuator. This is for the 94-97, but should be similar to your car. Just copy this link and paste into your browser.
