Do you mean the dome light, or, dash lites?

In either case, there is an intermittent. Might be the light switch. or a bad fuse connection. Or, poor connection at fuse box. Or, pinched wire in the harness(This usually blows fuse, though.) If it is only the dome light, flickerring when a door is open, it could be a bad connection at the bulb. (They get HOT! Be careful!) Or, it could simply be a bad or dirty switch to that one door--probably the driver's, as it sees the most use. Spray it with Liquid wrench and see. Or, check its connection--unscrew it from the chassis and look at it.

If it's the dash or courtesy lights, the same problem. The switch or bulb connections to the glove compartment, ash tray, etc. If the dash lights only, probably the rheostat on the light switch has loose wiper. Or, possibly bad connection inside dash. Either one means removing dashboard; lots of work. Try the simple stuff I mentioned, first. Sometimes, just pulling the "lights" fuse and reinserting it can fix an oxidized connection problem.
