Hi:  
My car at times activates the door unlock circuit by itself. Lights flash, door unlocks and the front windows rolls down. I think either my key is too sensitive and that is the cause or the sensing circuit in the car is picking up stray signals. Does anybody have similar problems? Where is the module located in the car that processes the RF signal from the key? Thanks.

Your Jeep has a component called the Totally Integrated Power Module that could be the problem.
