Actually, the doors should lock themself at 15 MPH. I don't know if that is what you are experiencing. Next, have you checked the switches on the door to make sure nothing has frozen (based on where you live) or has been damaged?

Let me know.

The only thing I can say is there is a switch in one of the latches that isn't working properly. Do you live in a cold climate?

The door switches could be sticking so that the circuit is closed and turns the light on. Start by checking them. I know where I am, the temps have been very cold and cars are doing strange things.
