Default Interior light flashing

I have a problem with the headlights or I think so could be a bad ground I don't know.

The radio and the driving info center light flash when the headlight switch is pulled out and it seems that when the car heats up those two light start flashing so when I shut the headlight switch the light stop flashing. so does anybody have any ideas as to what is causing this.

Sounds to me like a combination failing battery and the alternator tring to keep up...possibly a diode is failing in the alternator...
Have your battery load tested...as well as the alternator checked...

Most auto parts will check it free of charge...


Maybe someone else will chime in and have another suggestion.

if you're having trouble with the dash lights when pulling the dimmer switch out it is a dimmer switch problem. The contacts inside wear out from continuous use. I've had to replace several on cars I've owned.
