Interior lights flashing or bumps/cornering

[Max399]

Hello guys, a i got a little problem. When cornering, or coming over bumps - my interior lights flash, just like a door would open. What could be the problem, where should i start searching? Thank you.

Sounds like a bad door switch

Is there some easy way to check them, and locate which one died? Or i just wiggle them and check with a multimeter? Thank you.

Bad Door Switch , or Door Switch Wiring

You could remove one and drive for a while. If the problem goes away, you've found the bad switch. switch is on the body just above the lower door hinge, pry out. Check this for pics:

.You'll have to find a way to keep the wires from falling back into the body, tape maybe.

If you pull them all and still have a problem, you have a short.

Found the problem. It was the trunk switch not reaching the plastic cover on the boot. Little lift and its good. Easyest way to find which one is bad is to try them all in the dark :)
