Weird car locking problems
So yesterday I locked the keys in my car. Usually it wouldn't lock till I was going 10mph but yesterday it locked right away I guess. Since I only had the one key, (I'm suppose to get another made and this caused me to order it yesterday now), I used a coat hanger to unlock the passenger side door. 
Now, when I stopped at the gas station on the way home the car just kept locking as I was sitting there. My keys don't have the passive lock thing either. It would do this until I started driving. Then when I got home, the alarm started to go off and pushing the button on the fob did nothing.
The fob also doesn't really work now to unlock or lock the car. Tried changing the battery but that did nothing. (The battery was fine, we tried it in another car fob for a different car).
Side note: I just had the car have headlight work done, I'm not sure if that would mess anything up? And it was raining and from some things I read online if the BSM gets wet it causes problems? I've been searching but can't find a solution.
Thanks.

Spend some time reading this post. I believe you will find an answer here. Inspect wire condition inside the accordion between the driver's door and the body. Bill talks about this. Could also be related to a ground issue.

I had that issur 1 time after driving in some really heavy rain for about an hour or so, After things dried out I have never had that issue again, Have no clue what got wet, But I am sure something did.

This must have been it. Didn't drive the car yesterday but took it out today and everything was back to normal. Weird but glad its back to working.
