It just started happening out of the blue. I noticed it while driving. I made sure all the doors were shut and that my light switch was off. What could be causing this?

Check your door pin switches. One may be grounding out. You may get lucky and be able to remove the switch by just unscrewing it. If one of the connectors has come free and is grounding out you'll need to pull the kick panel to reinstall it.

Yep. MY PCM fell down and made contact with one of the door switches, grounding it out.
