Question door locks keep locking,interior lights flashing

HI GUYS, first time here, I have a 03, x-type , Canadian jag, 2.5 the problem is when I put her in drive, by time I get to the bottom of the driveway ,the door locks keep locking, the interior light flashes and the door open icon on the dash blinks, all for about 5 seconds and this can go on again when I hit the brakes , or even use the wipers any help on this one would be greatly appreciated thanks Bob

try this..if u have key fob, go unlock all doors by hand, use key fob to relock, and set alarm...then use switch blade to enter driver's side door. take a short trip and see what happens.
idea 2..check back child saftey locks,make sure there turned all the way to one posistion and not stuck in between.
idea 3.. Our door locks are on a vacume system, so if the first 2 dont work maybe u have a leak somewhere that is making the locks ,unlock while driving,,then as it should over 10mph i think the saftey comp tries to lock the doors

Usually this happens because the door ajar switch is dirty or wet and it doesn't work right. I always got them fixed by spraying them if WD-40 and working them. Most of the time this fixes it. Your switch works by hooking the ground to the control module. Check grounds and wiring before buying the big buck items. Your switch may be inside the door in the door latch unit.

You may have trouble finding vacuum lines. The door unit is electric on 2003.

ok so in the winter sometimes my door mech doesnt allow me to close door ,,I just end up slamming the braket into door hinge...I have to get out , hold my door handle all the way up and phisically push the mechanisim in my door to the unlocked posistion...Make sure all these latches are full up...
No worries we will sort this out...And what part of canada are u in?

I have a feelen this is a job for the professionals, could be a switch in the drivers door;it started acting up 2 months ago and its at the point where accelerating from a stop, the door locks click, dome light flashes, door ajar icon flashes constantly on and off maybe it's just the damp weather out here on Vancouver Island
