    You might have a loose ground somewhere, or a melted bulb harness or ground. That used to happen a lot with my other car.

    I had the same problem. Check the under hood anti-theft sensor. It is the black button looking switch about half way down the drivers side engine compartment against the side where the upper part of the fender mounts, easy to find and by itself. The bracket that supports it is poorly engineered and flimsy. Try bending it up a tad and see if that resolves it.
