Any electrical mods? Even seemingly unrelated ones? The BCU is known to be sensitive to line noise. Cheap LED and HID drivers can wreak havoc.
Nope, the car is entirely stock apart from a Berk Muffler Delete that I installed myself. As weird and ridiculous as this sounds, I took the car to the car wash and got all the dried up salt and everything off of it, and the issue literally ceases to exist.

So maybe the salt on the door handles was messing with the capacitive switch in the door handle causing it to think something was always touching it? Who knows. We'll see if the issue returns when the car gets dirty again.
