Hahaha! I can't afford to at this time. It's been thinning out up there. 😛
Wacky problem. Hoping someone can shed some light on it.

Still haven't found the elusive relay. I have removed the ash tray assembly and both under dash panels, still nada.
Next, I will remove the rear seat bottom, which was suggested earlier. What the heck. I still haven't found what looks like the proper relay.
Looks like more hair pulling in store.

I had an early 2000's car where the doors would unlock, alarm would disable and the windows rolled down under certain conditions. The commonality of these conditions was temperature - ambient temp increase or sun exposure. It was a pinched wiring harness inside the door and temp increase expanded metal and it would place pressure on the harness causing a short in the lock harness. Only took 4 visits to the dealer. I would carefully inspect every inch of harness wire from the A pillar to inside every door. Door harness tend to fail at the hinge area due to the harness flexing. See if there is a pattern to when it happens - vibration, temperature. But before you do that try pushing, squeezing banging every door to try and recreate the issue before you take things apart.. Good Luck.

Thank you for your reply, Ed. Please excuse the late response. I appreciate you sharing your findings with me. I still haven't found the definitive cause. However, the car recently died abruptly, no warning. No start condition.
I diagnosed it to a bad fusible link going to the ignition switch. I'm thinking perhaps the door lock malady has something to do with the fusible link failing. I'll see for sure after the fusible link is repaired.
Thanks again.
