My 2004 BA XR6T had it after really unseasonal heavy rain one day. It went away by itself - I suspect some water leaked in somewhere in a door and shorted somewhere and after things dried out - its been okay ever since.

If it was this it'd do the three quick, hey idiot you pushed the button before closing the door so I'll alert everyone in the area to your shame beeps? Or if the sensor is in and out, does it then do as descirbed?IE. the bcm gets a initial signal of all doors closed, so locks without the three beeps of shame, then the signal becomes door open, the bcm then unlocks all doors as a default because you can't have doors opened and locked.Go around the car. Open each door one at a time and press in the door open/closed sensor (bad terminology I know) and see if the all effect the interior light equal. If they do, try again as it may be intermittent.
