Dome lights flickering

My dome lighst keep flickering, usually when I make right turns and then go off when I turn left. Sometimes they just stay on if I've slightly drifted to the right on the highway. Extremely irritating at night. I've replaced all of my door jamb switches and all the doors are completely closed.

I had googled it but didn't see that post. Thanks! Hopefully that'll fix the problem.

Could be a cracked wire or two between the door jam. With the door open hold the button in by hand and shake the harness going to the door. If this makes the lights come on, then you found your problem.
