Check the switch on the rear hatch. Maybe with enough glass flex it is triggering the switch. Maybe also one of the door switches need some attention.

The rear hatch on my 84 does that real bad. Anybody know of a way to get it to stop?

As a temporary measure, you can just unplug it. I've replaced mine twice and now it sits unplugged because I'm sick of replacing it. It doesn't affect the alarm or anything.

Might be the switch or "trigger" in the doors. I notice that my interior light at night flashes when I close the door, from being on with the door open, then a quick off/on when I shut the door, and then completely off, almost like something is rocking in the door briefly like a mercury switch.
