hello! if your car has factory power doorlocks it sounds like to me that water is somehow getting into the doorlock actuator that is inside the door. you need to pull off both door panels and not only inspect the actuators themselves, but also look for any damaged wiring that water could get into and look at the connector and make sure it isnt damaged and letting water in. water is a very good conductor and can create strange electrical problems. shouldnt be hard to find. keep us posted!! greg...

actually, it's the salt or iron in the water that causes it to conduct electricity. H20 is non conductive by itself :D
