Locks on my 97 going bonkers-lights keep flashing. What's wrong? 850

Hi Klaus! Thanks for replying. I knew it would lock itself but not within thirty seconds. I think what happened is that water somehow shorted one of the locks, which would make the lights continue to flash off and on instead of just once. I shot some CRC, electronic cleaner in the key holes tonight and will wait and see if they are still erratic. WD-40, as someone suggested, I think counter productive, as the oil is a conductor. If they still act erratic I don't have the least idea where to begin to look for the problem. I imagine some sensor or server buried beneath the dash someplace. Dick
