Auto Theft Prevention/My 1995 Ford Explorer XL keeps locking/unlocking itself.

Question
I have several electrical issues with this vehicle, but this one is something I need to resolve. My car keeps trying to lock and unlock itself for no reason. The locks are all power, and don't work in general since this started. If I hold the lock button down (and tape it to keep it down) it stops. Otherwise it keeps trying to lock the doors over and over, then flips back and forth between locking and unlocking all of the doors if left for too long. Because of the holding of the lock button, the anti-theft sytem goes off for no reason as well. I need to know what to disconnect to make this stop, as removing the fuse (which does make it stop) also prevents my car from starting. If the power locks stop working, and lock me in the car, I won't be able to exit the vehicle as the lock poles are flush with the door when down. Please help me. Thanks.

Answer
From the sounds of this, I'd have to say
replace the drivers door master switch.

But my expertise is in the after market installation of
car alarms and keyless entry. I would take it to
a mechanic for evaluation and repair
or replacement as I don't do parts repair work.
