Default C5 door lock actuator

I've got a strange problem with the drivers door lock actuator on my C5 that I hope someone can help me with. My problem is the drivers door lock actuator intermittently opens when I am driving the car. The door locks are set to lock when I put the car in drive (automatic). When I then drive the car the drivers side door lock opens. I then get a constant click coming from the door lock due to the fact that it is attempting to unlock the lock even through it is already in the unlock position? this only happens on the drivers side door lock. Any ideas?

sounds like a loose connection in the door or a bad module.

Realy going out on door control module board. Easy fix. Search for my name and look for one of the posts pertaining to the fix. Pics and all. $1.30 per relay. I replaced both lock and unlock relays, figuring that if one's going, the other one's going to follow soon.
