Robert:
I agree that both are related. Do me a favor. Check the wiring between the door post and the door itself to see if the wiring is damaged and something is shorting to power. If that check okay, I would then remove the lock button from the door and using a multi function tool to check continuity, I would check to see if the switch is broken and sending power all the time.
Let me know what you find.
