Why is there a constant sound of locking and unlocking from the car door lock?

The reason for the constant sound of locking and unlocking from the car door lock is due to the loosening of the internal lock linkage, which prevents the electric lock from engaging properly and may result in the door not being securely locked. Maintenance and inspection are required. Composition: A car door typically consists of three main parts: the door body, door accessories, and interior trim panel. The door body includes the inner door panel, outer door panel, window frame, door reinforcement beam, and door reinforcement plate. Door accessories consist of door hinges, door opening limiters, lock mechanisms, inner and outer handles, door glass, window regulators, and sealing strips. The interior trim panel includes the fixed panel, core panel, interior upholstery, and inner armrest. Classification: Car doors can be categorized into forward-opening doors, rear-opening doors, and sliding doors. Forward-opening doors can be closed by air pressure even while the car is moving, making them safer and more convenient for drivers to observe the rear when reversing. Rear-opening doors are less commonly used because they may be pushed open by oncoming airflow if not securely closed. They are generally employed only to improve entry and exit convenience or for ceremonial purposes. Sliding doors have the advantage of being able to fully open even when the distance between the car's side and an obstacle is minimal.
A few days ago, I also encountered this strange noise in my car—the door locks were clicking on their own, which was quite creepy. My first thought was that there was an issue with the car key, but later I found out that my son had stuffed playdough into the trunk keyhole. The mechanic said common causes for door lock noises include: worn gears in the door lock motor, water ingress causing a short circuit in the main driver control switch, moisture-induced short circuits triggering false signals, poor contact in the remote key circuit board, or a glitch in the body control module program. He suggested first trying the spare key to rule out remote control issues, then checking for signs of water damage on the door panel trim, and finally disconnecting the battery for five minutes to reset the system. If the problem persists, the door panel may need to be removed to inspect the motor.
