Welcome to CAC, mine did the same thing when I first bought it. My problem was the passenger door light switch wasn't pushing in far enough, so when I went around a corner, the lights go on and off. Someone put in a spacer to fill the gap.

I had the same problem. Easy to fix. Take an old credit card and some scissors and a 1/4 drill bit. Cut out a round circle about 1/2. Then drill a hole in the middle of it. Then cut one side of the make shift washer so you can slip it in behind the black plastic piece thats in the door jam. Fixed.

I came up with something similiar to what rhipsher did...go to a hardware store and buy a couple of small rubber O-Rings that just barely fit on the center push pin for your door switch...it's on the back edge of the door and the center of it is basically a plastic pin that will just slide out, if it's pushed all the way in you may need to pry it a little with something so you can grab it...if you hadn't figured this much out already. If you're still having the trouble after you manage to shim out the push pin which ever way you decide to do it, then it's probably the actual switch in the door that will need to be replaced, good chance the push pin is just worn down around the ridges on it and won't stay out like it needs to anymore.
