To Todd and all others interested. This power door lock continuious cycling problem is common. It's caused by oxidation of the electrical contacts in the motor and control units on each door lock. You will need to remove each power door lock motor and control unit, open them up, clean the electricial contacts, lubricate the moving parts, put dilectic grease on the cleaned electrical contacts, reassemble, and reinstall them in their respective doors. I have had to go through this a couple of times since I've owned my '87 Westy. Quite humid where I live and I believe it's high humidity that is causing the problem to occur Cheers Frank
