Default car senses my doors opening?

I have a 95 3.4L and so sometimes as i'm driving along my locks go off inside the car and my dome lights come on and stay on for a few minutes. it does it randomly (not necessarily when hitting bumps or anything) and it only does it when the temperature outside is cool/cold. it usually shuts off on its own randomly also. sometimes it even gets to the point where it is just constantly going off.

I kind've firgured its something like the doors sensor not touching all the way when it's closed and it doesn't do it in the summer bc of the metal expanding giving it a better seal. i have never had any problems closing the doors or with the locks any other time and i am just baffled on this one.

has anyone had this problem or heard about it or can offer any kind of advice? I'm goin on my third winter with the car and its really starting to drive me absolutely insane.

any advice/input is appreciated thanks

test the output of the interior light switch on the door jam.

would the door jamb switches explain the locks going off as well?

if your security system is designed to auto-lock (mine is after 30 seconds) than yes it could jam switches are like 10 bucks and take about 40 seconds to replace
