Sounds like one of the door ajar switches is malfunctioning, this will cause the courtesy light to illuminate and for the door to lock again when the door is seen to close.

While sitting in the vehicle, engine running, push each door out to see if any of them cause the dome lamp to illuminate.

We have done that and checked all doors , and dome light still flickers, my other worry is will it drain the battery if it does it overnight or if am away from the car for lor long periods?
