Automatically unlocks at will....

I have a 2000 Eddie Bauer Expedition and I noticed that the power door locks started getting weak, but now it has started to just open automatically. The power locks pop up at will randomly for no reason what's so ever.....WTF?

any idea what that could be?? Where do I start to troubleshoot this problem???

Any help would be appreciated...

Do you have a remote key fob? The locks getting weak is usually a sign they are going bad. Ford lock actuators have a poor track record for longevity.

I do have the FOB and my wife usually uses that instead of the key itself. The ones on my F-150 are completely gone that I can only ise the key......

You say that's caused by a weak actuator????

I thought possibly there was a problem with the key fob, and that was making the door locks work randomly.
