Recently my interior light and the door ajar light in the dash come on if I break heavily or when shifting hard and the car jerks heavily. Before anyone asks, I have double checled that both doors and the hatch are closed securely! Was wondering what else it could be. Anyone else ever have this problem? Thanks.
 
While stopped, try pushing out on the driver's door, the passenger door, then get out and try to lift the hatch.

If it's not one of those, there's a wire touching someplace that it isn't supposed to. And you know how those projects go.
 
I appreciate the reply. I gave the doors and hatch a push and nothing. I'm thinking it might be the way I have my 10-disc cd player wired to my fuse box. Although it's been fine for months, I just wrapped the wire around the fuse and put it in the box. What's the best way to make this connection? I'm going to take the wires out for a ride and see if that is the problem. If that aint it, I don't think I'm gonna find it.
