I have a 1995 lumina that recently has had the interior lighting turning on and off randomly. They will turn on without the keys in the ignition. After some time they will turn off. If you open the door they don't turn on untill the car is started. Again after some time they will turn off. The only way I've found to turn them on manuall is with the dimmer switch. Is this normal? We've owned this car for a year now and haven't noticed this before yesterday.

That was my original thought but this car doesn't have door switches.
