    I have a 2003 Tacoma with 53k miles. After washing it I heard the keyless entry lock the doors. I put the fob in my other pocket. It did it again so I took the fob into my shop and the doors still locked, all by themselves. I don't use my truck everyday and now every time I go to use it the battery is dead. The battery is good and charges in 5 to10 minutes. I think the random locking is draining my battery. Can I just disconnect the keyless entry and stop this?

    Sounds to me you have some sort of interference on the same frequency .

    Causing the truck to respond or someone is messing with you

    You can try .

    Do you get these random remote locking while driving or only when at home ??
