Have a Chrysler 300M and may times the inside lights will flicker or stay on and then eventually go off. Sometimes when I’m driving and the inside lights flicker I hear relays poping. Souinds like a short but until the problem can be duplicated hard to find someone to work on it. HELP!!!

It would help to know what lights you are talking about. If you are talking about the courtesy lights then I would check for a door switch problem. If you are talking about the dash warning lights then I would check for an alternator problem.
