Default "91" flickering interior lights.

While leaving work, I started the Vette and drove out of the parking lot when I noticed just the Passenger Side interior door light start to flicker on and off (driver door light remained off). It happened a couple of times before I got home.

Today at work, the factory alarm started to go off for no apparent reason.

I found that the Driver "door ajar" switch had been unscrewed by the previous owner. Would this cause the Passenger side door lights and Alarm to malfunction?

Thanks

I would bet there is a problem with the door switch.

You really need to get a helms manual - www.helminc.com - to diagnose. Helm publishes the service manual for GM.

Had same problem in my 93, started as intermittent alarm issues, and finally the courtesy lamps would stay on even with the door shut. Easy fix and cheap part. I only replaced drivers side door switch. Makes sense since that door gets a whole lot more use.

Whatever you do, DO NOT get AC Delco door switches as replacements. They are junk and will break the first time you shut the door. As soon as I find a good replacement I'll let you know.

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately I just ordered the AC Delco door switch from Ecklers.
