Any help or idea of what might be wrong?
I don't know when it started or why but whenever I shift or turn sometimes all my lights inside the car and out will start to flicker until I'm done turning or shifting, and whenever I'm idle or cruising my power locks will just go crazy and keep lock/unlocking. Pretty much all my electrical crap goes crazy randomly.
Okay I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction of where to go to get it fixed or if anyone knows what might be going on.
Thanks.

Sounds like your electrical is all messed up. Good luck with that, I hate electrical. 
Perhaps give VR-4ever a PM, he could help you out.

sounds like an alarm issue not grounds or alternator. even if the alternator was going bad it wouldnt backfeed to the LOCKS. the alarm is your problem but wether its the actual alarm or a bad install is the question. if you unplug the alarm and it still does it make sure all the wires are taped up. The lights work off of ground as do the locks.
therefore if the wires are not taped and they touch ground the lights will look like they flicker on and off on the dash but in fact outside the lights are flickering on and off so its dimming the dash lights.
if the wires for the locks are not taped they can touch ground and make it lock and unlock and so forth.
Definately check the alarm i dont see anything else causing your problem.
