I had a similar problem with a 93 Caravan LE. There is a push button sensor on the body of the car where the door pushes against to trigger the dome light. Kind of like a refrigerator- open the door, button is released, and the light comes on. While I was driving, especially when turning, the door ajar light would come on, there would be a ding noise, the locks would re-lock. I noticed I could make it happen when I leaned into the door while driving.

The door open sensor and the door were too far apart. I took out the two screws that held the button in and put shimming material behind it. (I just used two layers of electrical tape.) The button was more prominent, so the door kept it closed better. Never had the problem again. Alternatively, you could put a magnet on the door, or glue a tab on it to push against the button harder.

But just to be sure, I'm not sure by your question if this happening when you are driving or if it's just sitting there.
