Default My interior lights are going nuts!!!

I parked my vette 6 years ago and finished it 11 months ago, since i've been driving it ussually happens when I turn my ac on. I have everything, heads CAM long tube headers 3 inch, no cats, new motor mounts, Ive even tightened my door studs, and put new door sensors on. How do I cure? any ideas?

How do you cure what? You haven't even described what your lights are doing. No one here is clairvoyant, you will have to describe what your lights are doing.

Actually, I am clairvoyant.

It's something with the electrical system. I'd start there.

What are the winning numbers for the next Ohio state lottery drawing and what are the winning powerball numbers? I've never bought a lottery ticket and I would like to experience the thrill of winning with my first ticket purchase.

Default they flicker off and on when I am at a rough idle or even when the frame flexes.

I thought this problem was more popular.

Does your door ajar light on the dash flash as well?

Several threads have addressed this. One issue could be the door ajar switches. My vette has a similar problem. Several fixes are out there, but I added a little more meat to the switch, and it helped it make a solid "off" connection. Fixed the problem. Likely due to wear in the spring part of the switch, or normal chassis flex.

Take a good look at the door ajar switches, there is a small plunger that can be pulled out a little bit to give the switch more travel. Use a small flat screwdriver and pry the plunger out just a little and see if it helps. Mid America sells them for for about $15.00 each.
