More likely that nobody has encountered this problem before.
That being said - Is it all locks or just driver's side? Do you set the locks with switch? Have you tried to lock by physically pushing the lock down and see if that changes anything? Have you checked door jamb wiring for pinched wires?
Could be that the "clicking" is the solenoids loose on their mounts and are not fully retracting the lock linkage. Has it been in a side impact accident, deforming door or linkage?
for what it's worth - I have gone to start truck at home or come to truck from store and found my locks "open", always thought that I did not lock truck. So now I make sure to listen for click/detent .

You might want to check the drivers door harness to cab wiring for broken or cracked wiring..My brothers 2011 had a few broken wires and a lot of cracked wire casings. The wiring was cracked where it flexes as door is opened or closed. Only had 50000 miles on it as well. We ended up buying a new harness as repairing all the wires would have made the bending problems worse.
