Default 97 accord- doors lock by themselves!

My 97 Accord locks its doors in the driveway by itself. I can unlock the car, then wait a minute and the doors will lock again by themselves. I took the battery out of the Key fob and the doors still lock by themselves. Something electronic has gone nutz.
Anyone else seen this before with your car?

That is a feature of the OEM keyless entry. i have read that some have had the dealer disable it but i havent seen a DIY.

I had a similar problem on my 97 a few years back. I believe there is a lock actuator in the driver's door w/microswitch(s) that flake out. If your car locks after exactly the same amount of time lapses every time, then I would say it's probably not this, but if it varies, or is more random, I'd look into it. Mine was cycling the locks randomly

My 96 does this every once in a while, but its because the drivers door lock cylinder drags while turning (doesnt move as freely as it should) and sometimes when I take the key out after opening the door or something, the location isnt back to "neutral" if you know what I mean.
