GLK350 keeps locking & unlocking when washing car

Anyone else experience this???!! When I have my keys in my pocket and I spray my car with the hose to wash it, it keeps locking and unlocking (over and over). Don't want to chance putting the keys inside (we all know the system prevents lockout) because.... well who knows, haha. Only other option is obvious, but jeeezzzz....

It's working normally.

Solution is to throw the fob on the driver's seat and close the door, then wash the vehicle. Or leave the fob inside the house, out of range for the car to detect the fob.

Solution is indeed simple!

It's just so weird that it is locking and unlocking when I'm not even touching the key. Yes, the solution is simple - the cause of the problem not so simple.

Water is closing the circuit on the comfort access door handle. Same on BMW. Solution is as described above.
