Rule out the remotes if used to start with by removing the battery from the key fob. If a given key fob is causing it removing the battery will stop it, then replace that key fob.

If the key fobs are good then you need to get into the car to troubleshoot, see if you can hold the lock unlocked with a physical key long enough to open a door.

You have to get the bonnet open and disconnect the battery, then remove the front door inner panels and disconnect the door lock/sensors, then reconnect the battery and see if the cycling locks continues. If it does disconnect the battery again, reconnect the front door sensors and remove the boot inner and disconnect the boot lock actuator/sensor.

When you reconnect the failing sensor/actuator the cycling will restart. You will likely need to replace one of the actuators.
