The door switches in the front door jambs are supposed to have little 
rubber covers on the ends that hit the doors as they close. On many 
cars that I have seen they are either missing or worn. When they 
aren't in good shape they don't move the switch all of the way in to 
shut off the lights or maybe the lights blink on and off as you drive 
because the doors shake a little. You can substitute a short piece of 
vacuum hose to test this. The other less likely possibility is a bad 
Courtesy Delay Lamp Relay. It is relay #23 White. Refer to M:07:02 for 
location. Pull it out and see if the problem goes away.
