I just purchased a 1998 dodge caravan and it passed safety & admissions. But when you are driving and hit a bump the door ajar light goes on and so do the interior lights they fllash off and on and recently in addition to that it occurs when you put your foot on the break or gas petal. What is this from any help would be appreciated Thank you

Next step is to hook it up to a scanner as that should show the faulty switch

So would you recommend sending it to a mechanic that specials in electrical repairs?

As that should pin point the troubled area
you can ask to have it checked some may charge about $50 for the scanner test
