I don't think the two issues are related at all. Just coincidence. Sounds like you need a new battery. Have the old one load tested to be sure although if its over 5 years old you need a new one anyway. While you're at it check that connections and grounds are all tight and clean. If trouble persists, scan for trouble codes or have a shop that specializes in electrical repairs look at it. Don't start buying parts until you know what's wrong.

Thanks we literally just bought it Friday. So probably some links to work out but now door locks keep locking and unlocking themselves and drivers auto door lock button is broke so I don't hopefully nothing to major

That could all be related to a weak battery. Modern auto electrical systems are incredibly sensitive so things like batteries and connections and grounds are all very important. I'd start with making sure that battery is 100% and go from there.

Thanks for taking time to offer advice. We took it over to dealer who sold it to us he checked battery and put a new one in so fingers crossed that's all it was
