Dan_Turism0 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hi guys, Only recently i've noticed a small issue with my supra, for some reason when i go round some left hand turns at say 30-40mph with moderate wheel lock my interior/handbrake and door open lights flicker at the same time, if i do it at lower speeds it's fine it just seems that when the front right is under load that it does this. Anyone got any ideas on what this could be or come across it before? The handling isn't affected and i can't hear any strange noises it's just the lights flicker like the Supra is haunted by a poltergeist Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Check the switch that activates your interior light in the door shut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbryant_knight Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 It has to be something electrical if the interior light is flickering as well. If it was just the handbrake light i'd have said check your fluid levels as it's actually a brake emergency light that just also happens to come on when you put the handbrake on. Thats why people always just call it a handbrake light. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 As Dunk says, it's the switch on the door. Pull your door closed harder when you get in, might be as simple as that. If it continues then you may need to adjust the striker in the door, from memory it's a couple of star headed bolts that you'll need to loosen then adjust the position of the striker and tighten up again.

jim Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Be nice if all problems were as straight-forward! I've just gone into my 7th year of ownership and the only problems I've had have been sticky calipers, yellowing headlights and my striker needing re-positioned. Not bad!

MattP Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I had this happen on my old N/A when a certain somone really slammed the passenger door shut hard. After that everytime I turned right all the door open lights IE dash,interior lights would flick on and off very quickly until the turn was complete. I fixed the problem by ever so slightly moving the sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
