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.

Interior lights flickering or staying on

Have you recently done any work in the doors? It sounds like a short or connection issue with your door lock harness inside your door.

Central locking goes on and off whilst driving

Check your master switch on the door panel. If all doors are doing it, the master lock swith is suspect. Don't know if your car has a body control module, or if it has anything to do with the locks. good luck.

2000 Plymouth Voyager Interior lights and lock problem

Just for the sake of trying a no cost repair, take some steel wool and rub clean, the contacts at your sliding door. They are little round plates, that match up with little buttons. Scuff them clean with the steel wool. Then spray the buttons (round black plastic) on your other door posts with WD-40 or similar spray, and work them in & out by pushing with your thumb. It may or may not cure your problem, but it's free & has been know to cure the problem, if not, get back to us.

Car Alarm

sounds like the drivers side key switch has failed remove the interior door panel and there will be a switch attached to the back of the key lock cylinder or around there it should be two or three wires also check the door jamb wire harness where the door closes for any broken or damaged wires, use a vot meter and see if you get power or ground to the opposite side of the switch when you use the key to lock and unlock the door if nothing changes and there is power or ground! at this switch i would replace it, i don't think there is one but if the car has a passenger side key hole try to unlock the car from that side and see if you get the same problem -jeff
