Subject:electric door locks gone mad

When I walked out to my van today I noticed the door locks were down.... I
hadn't locked the doors. It had been raining, the windows were up and my
keys inside on the floor. Oh Crap!!
        I checked the rear hatch and it was unlocked. Crawled in, unlocked & opened
the drivers door and the locks started cycling lock...unlock...lock...etc. I
grabbed my keys, got out and closed the door. They locked and stayed locked.
        I went to the hatch and locked it with the key, unlocked the drivers door,
opened it and the locks stayed unlocked. Problem solved??
        So I thought till I just went out to check and the locks were down again.
Windows open this time, reached in unlocked drivers door (unlocks all the
locks), opened it and they started cycling again.
        This time I closed the door, they cycled down to locked, I unlocked the
passenger door with the key and they stayed unlocked. They seem fine now,
but I'm sure the gremlin is still loose.
        Where would you wise and experienced listees start to look for this short
in the system?
