Welch wrote:I'd assume that I could use a Multi-Meter to track down part of this issue. In theory, if I were to probe the unlock/lock switches at the time of the anomaly, could I tell if the switch itself was actuating or receive a request from the button. Could I also check the wiring with a Multi-Meter to determine if the system is fluctuating in an odd way that signifies a faulty ground?
Believe me, the usual options have been expended and thought of, none of which are useful to this particular scenario. I'm faced with troubleshooting it myself, and how to go about that isn't exactly clear, other than having the extra equipment that you stated notfred.

Welch wrote:The issue isn't locational, as it occurs both in the ignition on and off state and in multiple locations (My home and 380+ miles of road). Some of these areas are so remote that I think its safe to rule out RF interference from outside sources (anything other than the vehicle)...

We were coming back from a dive one day when the Decca system on our boat went nuts, claiming we were travelling at all kinds of bizarre speeds in all kinds of crazy directions. We called across to our other boat and their Loran system was doing the same. Couldn't work out what was going on until we came around a headland and found the Destroyer HMS York sitting there with everything powered up.Most ships underway and outbound work out kinks in their surface EW suites by putting them though a full-spectrum regimen before heading out to sea. If you were by chance within the irradiating horizon of one such ship, an ECU on a low-current bus with wireless pathing like your car's keyless system could be subject to induced signal-like effects with unpredictable results.
