Funny.  This is what happens to me when the sliding door is not latched
fully --
the interior lights flicker.  This tells me to stop and re-close the door.  It
only happens on my '86 GL -- the Kombi and the '80 Westy don't have a light
switch
on the door.  It might also be the rear hatch not closed tightly, too.
Check the
easy things first -- Occam's Rasor and all.
