Default Weird problem, check this out toyota

so i head off to krystal for a midnight dinner since i worked really late today...

i get back to my house, the windows go up and i hit the unlocks to get out of the car.... they start pulsing back and forth locking and unlocking.... so i check the switch to see if it is stuck, no.... i hit the locks and it stops.... i try to unlock the car again, same scenario.... so i hit the lock button on the keyless to stop it... and then try to unlock it through the keyless.... no deal.... i lock the car and then pull up on the lock with my fingers, they start pulsing when you try that even.... so i decided that the only way out of this scenerio, was to put the key in the ignition and try to open the door from the utside while trying to unlock said door, vawala.... im out of the car.....

this ever happen to anyone else

That is weird. Is your car possesed? Did someone die in it before you bought it?

That would freak me out.

You should park it in a circle of salt just to be sure.

I would say bless the car with the holy water, but that would probably leave water spots.

Hmmm... I dunno.

I did have an event like that when one of my locks was in a middle position...(not all the way or down). I manually unlocked all the door and it quit acting funny!!

Default weird problem

It wasn't by chance raining when you went through the drive through was it? Someone else had a problem with their switches because rain got on them when the window was down. If no rain and everything is dry, I would also try the battery disconnect idea.

Just because I could guess how many times your door panels have been pulled off, I'd say anything is possible.
