Default Interior lights flicker

I have a 91 vert with 107k miles. My interior interior lights flicker on while I'm driving, and it seems to happen more when I have my headlights on. When the interior lights flicker on the "door ajay" warning light also comes on. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm guessing the door jamb switches are bad, but I'm not sure.

You are more than likely right about the door jam switches. I'd also check the hatch switch.

I'd say its the door ajar switches too. I've got the same trouble, what I did to confirm it is I took some tape and added a few layers on top of the plastic button the switch makes contact with to build it up. Drove around and no more trouble. I bought new door ajar switches for $12 each but I think its the plastic button the switch contacts, looks like its worn in a little so will pop those off too and replace. Good luck

Thanks for the feedback. I looked at my door ajar switches and the tip of the passenger side switch is broken off, so I'll replace them. I'd also like to replace those plastic buttons, mine are worn too. Where did you get your parts from (switch & button)?
