Default Weird electrical problem

Every now and then when I have the key in the ignition in the axillary position, the inside lights will go on if i bump my steering wheel or move around in the car to make the car start moving. I'm assuming it has something to do with the shock sensor from the alarm because it only does this when there's some kind of movement or vibration in the car.

Have any of you experienced this before? Also what could I do to fix this?

I doubt its your shock sensor. Is it the dome light and everything... what lights exactly?

It's the lights on the rear view mirror. It will go on and then dim away after about 10 seconds just like if you were to open your door and shut it.

It sounds like something is loose somewhere.... couldnt say exactly. It has nothing to do with your shock sensor tho.
