This just started happening. Sometimes when I start my Neon, the dome and maplights will stay on, the dash indicator will say "Door" and ficker, and the power locks will keep locking every couple seconds.
It does this maybe 50% of the time, but when it does it, it will do it the entire time I'm driving. Sometimes it will stop if I shut the car off and start it back up.
Just started a couple weeks ago out of nowhere. No other issues. Everything else works fine. The doors are all closed tight when this is happening. Opening and closing the door doesn't make a difference.
Anyone ever experience this before?

I had the same problem a few years ago. The problem was in the door jam ware the door harness plugs into the main harness. Pulled apart the connector and it was all corroded.

Too much time spent here is a sign of a bad case of Ownaneonvirus.Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.

May not mean anything, but the "Door" light circuit won't come through the door harness like the '01 to '05 cars. The pin will activate the door ajar instead of the latch. I would still check all the connectors like screaming03neon said.

dome light/door locks
This happened on my 2000 ES. Look at the door pins for the dome light. If you look closely there are adjustment pins in the end of the main shaft of the pins. Take a small flat tip screwdriver. knife blade, etec and pry the adjuster out about 4 or 5 clicks. Close the door and the pin will automatically adjust. Do this at all four doors and you should be trouble free for s long time.
