I have a problem with the rear dome light that goes like this:
The switch for the rear doom light has 3 positions:
Light On (far right position)
Light On only when the door is open (center position)
Light Always Off (far left position)

The problem is when the switch is placed in the center position (Light On when door is
open) the light will suddenly come on for no apparent reason while riding around. When
this happens, the light on the instrument panel indicating the rear door is ajar will
also come on, but sometimes it just flashes on/off if going over a rough/bumpy portion
of the road. I have checked both the rear door and glass and both are closed. If I
should just open and close the door then the light does goes out but will eventually
come on again later on. Anyone have a similar problem?
Thanks

I second this...

Never had this problem on my 2002 EX.
Sit in the trunk and push couple of times on the door. I bet the light will
come on and off.
Go back to the dealer and make them replace the switch.
