Try undoing the battery, bleeding off the connections and waiting about a minute, then reattach, it should reset it.

It's odd , when I secure all doors, the alert & interior lights go out, when I take a curve or make a turn, the lights' back on & alert's back lol.

spray some CRC QD Contact Cleaner on each passenger door and have the battery disconnected while doing this. Then we'll go from there.

Where the door latches on the metal part of the body. a little behind the door latch should be a microswitch.
