    My 2000 Chrysler Town and Country Limited's door locks and interior
    light sometimes go up and down and blink on and off at the same time
    while driving. The symptom seems to indicate that one of the doors is
    not closed all the way (the door ajar light on the dash comes on and
    off when it does this). But I can get out and re-close all of the
    doors and it does not correct the problem. I have also checed the
    contacts on the doors to make sure there are no obstructions. I have
    taken the van to an electrical shop to replace two of the window motors
    (driver side and rear passenger vent) and can't help but think that
    these two motors going is some how related to the larger issue here.
    Any body with a similar problem with this model or directioni to a more
    appropriate group for this type of post please reply.

    if the door is out of adjustment and does not close properly then the
    switches won't work right and slamming door closed can do this
    place a dab of greese on contact plates then close and open door and see if
    u are getting a solid contact

    Your problem more than likely is a door switch, they are self-adjusting and
    when someone has slammed the door the switch is adjusted in too far
    resulting in the dome lights/doorlocks activating when you hit a bump or
    drive on a rough road, or even when going around a curve.
    The sliding door are the worst, but the side doors can be the culprit
    too.
    Try rocking the van, check the door adjustment. If that does not work
    disconnect/isolate one doorswitch at the time

    More then likely one of the sliding door switches are at fault. You can
    either take a guess and replace them or have a scan tool connected,
    monitoring all door switches to see which one is at fault. It could be any
    door or a shorting wire.
