Default FOB/door lock/battery drain problem

Hello,

In my 94, I recently went through a engine transplant. I dont know if its related or not but about the same time my alarm would go off randomly with the key fob plenty far away. Then when I get in the car the door ajar light would come on and the interior lights would stay on while driving. Also my locks would go crazy locking and unlocking over every bump. After I shut the car off the interior lights would stay on for about 20 minutes. My battery would then be dead after two days of staying in the garage. I am completely lost as to what might be causing this problem. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Sounds like your "door closed" switches need to be adjusted or replaced. All of your symptoms will occur if the switches are loose, intermittent, etc.

All I can add is that batteries and alternators going bad cause weird intermittent electrical issues in these cars. If all else fails focus on them.
