Default C-4 Interior light problem

I have a 1991 corvette,the interior lights will go on & off while I'm driving & I can hear clicking. Then sometimes when it's parked the lights go on & off,and the alarm goes off. The only way to stop the alarm is to unlock it. But the light still go on & off. Any help would be great. Thanks Tina

Welcome to the forum! Try adjusting the door switches first. If you look at the switches (one on the lower rear corner of each door) you'll see that each switch has a pin on the end of the plastic plunger. That pin is the part that actually contacts the body of the car when you close the door. With a small flat blade screwdriver, pry the pin out of the plunger a little bit. That makes the plunger longer so it gets pushed in all the way when you close the door and turns off the lights. Do it with each door. The first time you close the door the pin will get pushed in to the right length.

If that doesn't work it could also be a faulty hatch switch. Good luck!

Yep, do it! That's what the problem was with my interior lights not going on or off. If working the switches doesn't solve the problem, they can be replaced without too much difficulty.
