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
