Door Lock - DRL issue related?

2 problems came up the same time a couple days ago.

Doors unlock/lock on it's own
-driving during the day they unlock and lock on it's own, it's like a ghost is trolling me.
-up/down **** near door handle will be dead.. it just wont work
-on the flipside, up/down **** works fine when the car is off

DRL's light is emitted on my cluster.
-no drl's
-high beams still work

I've resoldered some points in my drl module before from an old typical issue so I'm not to too worried about that, but it's kind of baffling me, because I'm starting to think that my ghosting & **** issue ceases ONLY when my low beams are on. I know the drl and lock module's are completely separate so how could both issues be correlated?

Do you have an aftermarket entry system or aftermarket alarm system?

Re: Door Lock - DRL issue related?

just to update, i resoldered the usual points in my DRL module and the issue is still happening. Ironically, I did forget to connect the DRL module once I screwed it back to the bracket, and while my drl light stopped emitting on my cluster (obviously), my keyfob stopped working, so I'm assuming whatever keyless entry unit that was installed when I bought the car, it's somehow wired in conjunction with my DRL module. Is this normal practice or.. am I going crazy? All in all, I'm going to make a trip to the junk yard to snag a DRL module to see if all problems cease after this.

slapped in another drl, no bueno.
slapped in another low beam cut relay, no bueno.

thinking it's the keyless entry unit. looked in it's designated spot behind the ac lighter, and wasn't even there
