Lightbulb Need some help please

Everytime I hit a bump in my car the back ceiling light flashes. Very strange. Any ideas? I was thinking it has to be a loose bulb?

I know this may sound crazy,but tonite I was driving the wife's formula and hers did the same thing. Hit a bump and the inside light would come on and go off. Turns out yesterday when she got home from the store, she didn't shut the rear latch completely. Check it.

Open the driver door a bit when you close the hatch. It helps with the amount of air the hatch is trying to move when you close it. I never seem to get the hatch closed unless a door is opened!
