Doors Lock Automatically After Battery Change.

The factory battery was going dead every couple weeks, I replaced it with a battery of basically the same capacity(10cca more) and ever since the doors will lock automatically after 5 seconds. They will lock with the keys in the ignition as well. I've had to rescue the gf a couple times in the last week. Is this a setting I can adjust? I didn't notice anything in the ops manual. Or should I have it checked out at a shop?
