1998 Jeep Cherokee 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 105K miles

SOMETIMES as I drive around (sounds like) the doors will lock and unlock with the interior lights coming on and off. This problem doesn't happen all the time maybe 2 - 3 times a week and I am unable to identify any common condition. I thot maybe its related to the automatic safety locking system that happens when you first pull away (approx. 3mph). And just my luck it doesnt seem to happen when near a dealership.

Any Ideas or suggestions?
please help, Bill. (Aceditall@aol. Com)

I have resorted to removing the fuse for the interior courtesy lights as it is quite irritating, if not illegal in the evening hours (lights coming off an on).

Might want to have it scanned for "B" or body codes. That could be one of many things shorting out the BCM (body control module) causing this. Have you had any other issues with the remote entry or anti-theft system? Get back with the results of scan
