The "BCM" module on your van has become unreliable.
The BCM is the "Body Control Module" that all these systems go through. The issue is that these are cold soldered and after a time the solder joints break on the computer connection. It is located behind the fusebox underneath the steering wheel.
If you know someone who can solder. You can use an 8mm and a 10mm socket to remove the BCM. Open it up and resolder the joints with a soldering iron. After that everything should be fine.
It is easier than it sounds.

BODY CONTROL MODULE
REMOVAL
Disconnect battery negative cable.
Remove lower steering column cover and knee blocker reinforcement.
Disconnect two wire connectors from bottom of Body Control Module (BCM) Body Control Module .

Remove screws holding BCM to junction block.
Slide BCM downward to disengage guide studs on junction block from channels on BCM mounting bracket.
Remove BCM from junction block.

INSTALLATION

03 gmc 2500hd 6.0 gas. truck is going crazy

Check door switch connection and operation.
If the door switch is part of the door lock mechanism, within the door itself, then remove door panel, disconnect the mechanism's electrical connector and re-check that the interior light no longer comes on with that door ajar. If it doesn't, then you likely have a faulty door lock mechanism, which you will have to replace.
This faulty switch will also have the affect on your random central locking function.


This is not likely connected to the engine performance issue.

The alarm goes off all the time for no reason,,door ajar is always on..it locks and unlocks going down the road...wont start. just put in a new battery,,still nothing

It's in the driver door most likely do you have keyless entry and do you use your key to punch in the #s if so the seal is broken and letting water in if not the driver door module deals with all and also the door wire that's at the latch lock where you close the door that wire could be breaking making the interior and door ajar light comes on but all problems are in the driver door your master lock control keyless entry and alarm and door ajar all go through the driver door module check for moisture in it or corroded connections and broken wires also have fuses checked for blown ones have fun in your techno boogie box and if you do use your key press the key pad buttons get out of the habit

it sounds like you may have a door switch going bad or in need to adjustment, the car thinks the door is ajar and then cycles the locks. the hard part may be to figure out which switch is making it act up.

Door ajar light is staying on, can not lock doors once key in ign

Hi, my name is adam. By the way your descrpion says, you are having difficulty with the door ajar. My solution is to take a pink eraser and clean off the sensors on each door. Sometimes road dirt and grime get in there and screw it up. Thank you.
