1999 Ford SD Electrical. Interior Lights

I have a problem. When I drive, My interior lights keep going off & on. You can hear the relay kicking off & on. The door ajar idiot light stays on all the time. It seems only to happen when I have a passenger. I took the inner passenger door panel off to see if there is a stuck open door button switch. There is none. I followed the wiring loom to the door lock & there is 2 plug in connectors. 1 is for the electrical door locks. The other I do not know. I have 66500 miles on it & it seemed to start around 60000. ( after the warranty ended.) Also, the interior light goes on when you are stepping on the brakes to slow down. Electrical gremlin I guess. What I have is a 1999 F250 XLT crew cab short bed with a V10 auto.
