I had the same problem on an aftermarket system that I added to my 93. It turned out to be the connection that went to the aftermarket module that was hot when the key was on. Fixed the bad connection and it hasn't happened since.

Yes, it is an aftermarket alarm system with the keyless entry system built into it. My actual problem was with the inline splice connectors. One of the connectors was in front of the heater outlet. When the heater was on my doors would lock and unlock. I removed the connector and soldered the connection.
