My 96 has developed an interesting problem. Some times when driving, the door locks will unlock when the car hits a bump. Not every bump and not all the time. I can reproduce this by smacking the drivers door panel right by the power door lock switch and the behavior disappears if I unplug the power door lock switch.
I'd checked the "door closed" switches and they both seem to be fine. I'd figure if they were misbehaving I would see the interior lights come on.
So my question is if anyone else has seen this? I've ordered a replacement switch, but I can't be sure that will cure it.

Thought I'd follow up on this one. As I'd posted before I've only owned the car a couple of weeks and had a difficult time reproducing the problem "on command". As luck would have it, I managed to reproduce it and maaged to trace the problem to a misadjusted "door closed" sensor. Works just great now and for once the fix was free.
