Monte Carlo Door Locks & Lights Q. I have a 1997 Monte Carlo LS. It has 116,000 miles on it, V-8 engine, automatic transmission, fuel injection and ABS brakes. I am having a strange problem. My doors locks periodically lock and unlock when I'm driving and when that happens my dome lights and map lights come on.

This is really annoying especially when it happens at night and the glare from the lights on the inside is making it hard to see the road.

This started right after I locked my keys in the car and I had to partially pry the door open so I could get a hanger in to let down the windows. I don't know if the prying did it or not I just thought I would let you know all the details.

Thanks for your help...

A. I would start in the door you pried open. You may have messed up a jamb switch and now it's slightly out of adjustment.
