Relay Buzzing Lights Flashing

Let me first say that i think this site is great with all the info and knowledge on here. Here is my problem. I have an early 99 f350 7.3 2wd. My problem is occasionaly my relay for my interior lights will start buzzing wile im driving while its parked doesnt make a difference. The interiors lights will start flashing. Now a few things. I replaced the realy which is relay 1 in my fuse block. Didnt make a difference. When this happens my OD light will start flashing while im driving or parked. My radio and pw,pdl lights on door stay illuminated. When i open my door while parked it will stop buzzing and the lights do like there suppose to. Now while im driving and open the door the buzzing will continue. I hope this is enough info if someoone can help me diagnose my problem. Thanks to all

How old are your batteries?

Usually, relay chatter is caused by low voltage.

Yup, your batteries have just about had it or your alternator is bad.

Batteries are about a year old, altenator is only 1month old,(new not rebuilt).
Somewhere i was reading about that this model truck had a problem with the windshield leaking and the rain would run down onto the GEM module. Could this be the cause of it?
