While driving the door locks and unlocks repeatedly and the car inside light comes on and off while the car is

could be anti theft issues if you have it. also if you have key fobs (remote door locks) try removing the batteries for a couple days and see if problem persists.

Try checking your fuses and making sure the wires are fine. Use a multimeter to test the wires. You could also have grounding issues with the locking wires.
