Default 1965 Interior Electrical question

Hello,
Longtime lurker here just had a quick question. I have a 1965 roadster that i recently replaced that main harness in. After the install the drivers side interior light some times flickers on while driving at night despite the fact that both doors are closed. This is not a constant onit just occasionally flickers and seems to stop after a long drive. I would appreciate anysuggestion. Thanks

Check the pin switches on each door just above each upper hinge. There was a post a day or two ago covering this very topic. Good luck. Jerry

Switches are probably not adjusted correctly.

Doesn't seem like it would be the door switches, since only the driver's side is flickering. That's assuming, of course, that the lights work normally and both driver's/passenger's light up when you open the door. That light has to be grounding out somehow to cause it flicker like that. Check the socket and the wiring going to it.
