 Anytime multiple electrical items go "crazy" you should look first at
the grounding points.  I don't know where they are in your car, but
there are several, some under the hood, some under the dash, all with
single or multiple brown wires screwed down to a point on the chassis.
 As for the door, the switch is probably just getting old.
