No overhead console ? Then I would guess so.

well I unplugged it and nothing happened. which fuse could it be? I looked here to see if anything could be the culprit so I looked at the # 9 fuse and its still good but that's the only one I can think of http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/...tification.htm

Have you checked all of your door switches carefully? Particularly the hatch switch?

My 96 does this in the winter sometimes. I think its the hatch too, I usually just end up pulling the fuse for a few days

Even if you think the switches are good, go around and give 'em a squirt of WD40 just to be sure.
