As I drive the door locks will unlock and lock at random times. It seems like a problem with a ground. Both locks do this at the same time.

This is most likely to be due to a faulty door lock actuator.

When the doors are locked, the actuator moves a switch and when this switch overshoots due to a faulty stopper, any vibrations would cause the switch to trigger the central locking system.

This is quite common for 1994 to 1998 Accords.
