massive short(s), bad or missing electrical grounds, corrosion or water in a fuse box or module casing, bad body control module, just to name a few reasons, only way to know is a thorough inspection of the wire harnesses.

We have a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. It does the exact thing when the Driver side sliding door is opened. It started going crazy. Lights flashing, wipers on, etc. I'm going to try to mess with the wiring on the sliding door and check for shorts. I'm seeing recalls though for this so going to try that first.

Try checking ground wires. Running a secondary ground from negative battery terminal to starter bolt may help.
