Interior lights flash on bumps

Please help me if you can here.......yesterday i took out my factory radio to try to install an aftermarket cd player. well i have the bose so as it turns out so i now have the factory radio back in the dash.

Now tonight while i was driving around at night, every time i hit a bump the interior lights come and and then go off. i am guessing this is a wiring issue so what one would i have to check if i took the dash off again? otherwise what else could be doing this?

Thanks, Patrick

Make sure your rear hatch is latched closed. I've driven 30 miles with the hatch down but not latched and you can't tell unless you hit a bump and the roof light will flash.

My remote opener is the culprit...keys bunched up in your pocket and hit the button unintentionally.
