Constant Locking Issue

So about two months ago i noticed every now and then when i used my key fob to lock my 2010 Liberty the confirmation "horn" would beep more than once, sometimes up to five times in a row. This issue got progressively worse and it began locking on its own whenever i got within range of the vehicle. I replaced the battery and the problem seemed to be fixed but after a few days i pulled in to my driveway and the jeep just started locking repeatedly and wouldn't stop beeping, this went on for about a minute while i opened the FOB and removed the battery and then of course it stopped. I am lost and hoping someone knows whats going on. I have also noticed my driver side lock/unlock buttons often take more than one click to work and sometimes not at all. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Sounds like it's time to replace the cluster in your door. I had to do mine about 2 years ago. I chalked it up to water damage

If removing the battery from your Fob stopped the issue. Then you need a new Fob.
Get one from E-bay, take it to a local locksmith and have it cut. If you have 2 original keys you can program # 3,4,5,6,7,8 on your own. (Once 8 are in the system, a dealer will have to remove them, in order to program new ones.)The instructions are in the owners manual.
If you only have 1 working key, a locksmith can usually program in a new one a lot cheaper then a dealer will do it for.
I just bought 3 keys (E-bay) 1 for my rig and 2 for my father-in-law, had his 2 cut and programmed by a locksmith. Total cost for him was around $90. Mine, I programmed myself.
My cost was $14 for the E-bay key + $7 to have it cut. I had to wait for 10 days to get the keys from China, but hey, they worked...

The other problem with the master switch could be dirty, corrosion, etc.
If you are brave, you can try taking it apart and cleaning the contacts. But forewarned, they can be a bugger to get back together correctly.
