Spotondl,
Logic suggests that this craziness is triggered by the opening of the door, and points to the wiring loom in the rubber gaiter at the door hinge area, the lock/unlock circuitry, or the security system.
My own skill sets would have me delving into that rubber gaiter to isolate any frayed/broken/stretched wires there. Be sure to check the large connectors right at the kick panel where the door harness enters the car body.
If that yielded no results, I'd pull the driver's door panel and check for loose wires/connectors/grounds for the power lock and cylinder (key) locks.
If that yielded no results ... then you'll need the expertise of a good service technician, not necessarily at a Nissan dealership, if you're so inclined. Independent mechanics will be cheaper, but you'll need to find a good one. Good Luck!
