electrical issue

Hi there. I have a 01 E430 and its been doing something weird. At times when I brake and turn right, the cabin lights comes on and the door locks come unlock. And now is happening more frequent and the locks come unlock randomly. Any idea how to fix this? I assume its an electrical issue. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info. Definitely narrows down my issue. My question now is what is the proper way to test which one is acting up? And how do I replace it? I searched around on the forum and its a common problem. Any one has advice on a low cost replacement part?

Alright I think I have pinpointed the issue. Looks like it is the drivers door pin sensor. I taped a penny on the door and closed it, drove around and it eliminated the issue.

The question now is that do any one know a good parts site to get the part on the cheap? Thanks again
