Hi Guys, just come back from a drive down a corrugated road in the GU and while I while driving the interior light kept flickering on and off as
well as the door light on the dash. Yes all the doors were closed. Stopped when I got back onto sealed road. Has anyone got any ideas as to what it could be? Thanks in advance.

Same thing happened to me mate. The rear main door is sensitive to movement and in standard form can move up to another 3mm further in before stopping even when the door is closed.
To fix this problem for ever go down to woolies and pick up a pack of cheapy circular adhesive carpet patches (normally put on stuff to stop it marking whatever surface it sits on) and cut to fit over the end of the sensor. This pushes it in about another 2mm and prevents it cutting in and out making the lights flicker on the dash. If the carpet piece comes off then get some super glue out to make sure the little bugger cant again.
Gave me the absolute $hits too.

Yeah I think that's what it is because I wriggled the bottom of the small
barn door and the light started flickering. From what I could see now the sensor on the small door needs to get pulled out a little bit (exactly what you just said) but I just didn't know if you could adjust the length of the sensor once you take it off the door. So if the length can't be adjusted, I'll end up doing what you suggested.
Thanks heaps,

I had this problem also ,
The problem is if you are wiggleing the small door it has to be moveing the big door , its very difficult to tell whats actually going on .
The first thing I tried was putting something to pack out the switch on the small door . This didnt work .
After a bit of messing around I found the lower catch of the larger door had been adjusted too far in , the catch looked like it was hooking up but wasnt fully , so sometimes the large door was only latched by the upper latch . The door switch is in the upper latch and I couldnt find any adjustment in the Gregorys manual.I adjusted the bottom striker plate ( ? ) out by small amounts until the light didnt come on any more .
Hope this helps you out .
Glenn.
