I think there may be a problem with my Keyless entry. All my door locks will lock/unlock and my hazard lights will constantly flash. Its as if someone is repeatedly pressing unlock/lock on my fob. Its not the remote (i disassembled it), its not my battery (had it tested). How do i troubleshoot to see if there is a short in a wire, or a bad relay? Not sure what could be causing this issue. Any help would be appreciated, i took it to the dealer but they werent helpful and suggested i buy a new car battery first and then they would re-run diagnostic tests. Easiest solution may be having a new Keyless Entry installed, but i'm not entirely sure this fixes the issue. Thanks for your time, if anymore info needed i can add.

it should be a bad relay..because if it do it by it self with out using the remote, the receiver is going bad or something else that is making it do that.

Have no idea where the relay is. I was able to find the keyless entry system behind my backseat and unplugged the wires that were in it. Hopes this doesnt affect anything else besides my keyless entry.....
