Default Electrical issues this morning

Hey guys, I had an issue with the 928 this morning when the doors decided to lock itself while the car was still running. Luckily I had the key to unlock the doors. The car does have a Viper alarm with automatic locking upon setting the alarm. My best guess is that the brain is either faulty or it's conflicting with the central locking mechanism. Has anyone ever had this issue before?

I hate electrical, it's so complicated on these cars to diagnose

A young feller like you should be out drinkin' with the boyz on a Friday night.

Check/replace the door lock fuses. They're located in two funky little fuse holders in-line with the power wires - not on the fuse panel.

Back to my whiskey and the rockin' chair...

Happened twice to me...
Once, while in the sHARk had both doors doing the uncommanded door lock tap dance. Tried starting and killing the engine for a reset, then position one to open the damn doors, but, both doors continued to lock -together-. Finally managed to twist the pass. **** and killed the engine.
Then the doors were out of synch and one door was always open. I don't know if disconnecting the batt. or doing a recharge was the cure but they cycled together after batt hook-up.
I think the second event was right after I installed the new window and sunroof switches.
Cycled so fast it sounded like I was being hit with a couple paintball guns.
I got the door open -somehow- during the cycling and disconnected/charged batt again.
Not sure of cause or cure to be honest with you.
