I had this happen on my long deprated 1987 5000cstq avant years ago and
traced it down to an interior light relay that had a little time delat
circuit board in it. At the time dealer price on the relay (pre-qlist
era...~1990 or so) was something like $75.00 so I opened it up and
resoldered it...was good ever since for me ('till my ex-wife sold the
car that is). Nowadays, with three older cars mit Bosch relays, I find
myself resoldering at least one relay a year to fix something or
another. Locate the "courtesy light relay" and pop the top off and have
a looksee or simply resolder the whole board. Worth a try... If that
doesn't fix try and get a used one from Pick-N-Pull, etc.
