[Supras] Interior lights flashing - what could be wrong??

[Rich Peacock]

If the under dash lights / door lights were are not flashing, the 
problem should be in the upper light fixture map light switch.  I don't 
think that the map light toggle turns on the door lights though...

If the lower lights are flashing, then it's probably a door pin or 
wiring issue.  I'd open the doors and push in the door pins and see if 
any are loose or give an indicator of being the culprit.  Maybe hit 'em 
with a bit of dielectric grease.  A pin could be loose, worn away or 
broken which would cause intermittent contact.  Try taping a piece of 
cardboard (for troubleshooting) to the contact point opposite of the pin 
to push it in further.  Failing that, I'd disconnect each of the pins 
and see if I still have a problem.  If all the pins are disconnected and 
you still have a problem, you're going to have to learn how to use a 
multimeter and read an electrical diagram.  I know the trunk has a 
light, but can't remember if it turns on the front lights or just that 
rear one.

Then I would perform an exorcism.  Maybe twice just to be sure.  Then 
I'd sell the car *to me* for next to nothing.  :)
