sounds like there's water somewhere in the wires. Check the connectors in the doors for moisture.

check to see if there is water in the CTM, that is what controls the door locks as well as most of the electrical items inside the truck

moisture in the system seems to make the most sense as the weather gets warmer it stops. any thoughts on it being the power lock relay? and the ctm is that behind the glove box?

the power lock relay should be very cheap to replace, but i dont think thats it, replace it if you want.

as for the location, on the 99 im not sure where it is

No to the CTM. Its a known issue and yes it's water related. TSB exists.

Here is my thread on my personal repairs for the very same thing:
