Door locks inconsistent

My door locks only work part of the time. At other times, they will click on and off randomly, like when I'm driving, going over bumpy sections of road, or sitting at a red light. I bought the car about a month ago and the guy said the passenger door lock mechanism was faulty, but they both have the same problem. I had to disconnect my alarm horn because it would go off at the same random times the locks acted up. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot and/or repair this?

sounds like it might be an issue on the alarm/central locking module under your driver seat.

I agree perhaps the module got wet.

That can cause all kinds of strange behavior and eventually corrosion and failure.

Best to have the alarm code(s) read with a Durametric, Porsche PST2, or Porsche PIWIS tester.
