Door Locks click while moving
My 1994 C4 just started this.
While driving and no arms on the armrest, the electric door locks act like someone is pushing the electric door lock switch. It only has done this twice, so I can't tell for sure, but I *think* it is activating the lock direction and not the unlock direction. I haven't been able to catch it by looking at the door, but both doors are affected. Then it stops.
Ideas anyone?

Ah,
So, on the drivers side, the switch is out, but a small metal button (looks like a nail head) protrudes slightly beyond the plastic actuator, the passenger side has the nail head pushed in and not protruding. I lubed both sides with silicon where the plastic moves in and out. I pulled out the button on the passenger side, but I'm not sure it will stay, or is it suppose to?

Door locks clicking, maybe a PKE issue? How fresh are the batteries in the key fob? Yeah I know the PKE system is designed to work only with engine off, but electrical problems tend to be freaky sometimes.
