I recently had my engine cleaned. Now when I'm driving, the doors unlock themselves automatically, and the door open indicator light is flickering on & off.

gremlins, hard to fix this. Try spraying everything under the hood that you see that looks like an electrical component or relay/fuse panel with WD-40, soak it good, not on a white driveway. Let it sit for a while, overnight is good. This will attempt to displace the moisture. I've seen it be a permanent fix.
