Why is my Jeep unlocking itself every 30 seconds?
If hitting the switch does not instantly unlock the door, then (I’m guessing) the switch (or the wiring to it) might be shorted or damaged, which might be the problem. Happened to me with my partner’s car when the battery inside the key fob was dying. Shortly after the phantom unlocking, it was completely kaput.
Why is my Jeep Cherokee door not locking?
The culprit is the circuit board in the door that runs the electro-mechanical locking system. Essentially, the board fails in a way that makes the central locking system think the doors should be locked.

What kind of car locks and unlocks itself?
My boyfriend has a 2008 Kia Spectra that appears to have developed a mind of its own! The doors randomly lock and unlock at very odd times – usually when we are trying to enter the vehicle.

Why does my car lock when I open the door?
Think about it, oblivion. If you unlocked the car, you have the keys. If you open the door, it won’t lock itself. Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to lock your keys in the car. If you leave the keys in the ignition, and try to lock and close the door, it will unlock itself, preventing you from locking the keys in the car.
Why does my Sentry Key not work on my Jeep Wrangler?
In my opinion this is something for a dealer to handle. The reason is that the keys have to be recognized not only by the remote keyless module, but also the sentry key module to start the Jeep. The latter seems to be working. The keys have to be programmed to both modules.
