you have a bad door switch somewhere... you can try spraying everyone on the truck with a good contact cleaner (something better than WD40) - and see if that does anything... but you will want to find the one causing the problem, and replace it

start with the drivers door switch, gets the most use.-- spray with (soak) with a good penetrant oil.
