Bad electrical issues. If while driving, I make a right hand turn, the interior lights blink on and off. The automatic 15 mph door locks will lock at 15, 40 and even 60 mph. The flashing interior light issue occurred even while just driving straight a couple of times. I can cause it to happen when turning right but, never turning left. I am the original owner with 75k miles on the Jeep. Two years ago someone tried to hot wire it and cracked the housing around the column. the lock was hanging out. the dealer made all repairs with no issues until this week. Also the last two nights I have gotten home around 9 pm. At around 11 pm my wife calls me to say the interior lights are on. If I hit the lock on the key fob, I hear the locks engage but the light stays lit. If I hit unlock then lock, all is well. I know I can pull the correct fuse to avoid the chance of a dead battery but, I need to fix this. Trust me, you haven't lived til you have driven a couple of miles at night with the overhead lights blinking like a stobe light....:uhoh:

when the lights are on go around the outside of the jeep and try to push each door in and see if the lights go out.it sounds like one of the door jamb switches might be bad
