    Hey everyone,

    I have a 96 4runner sr5 that has lights that flicker in the dashboard, and near the gear shift. I suspect that it is ground wires that need looked into but am not sure. Also, the rear door window switch on the center console doesn't work, and the rear door intermittently opens. The latch doesn't work 40% of the time.

    And GO! ;)

    Yeah, definitely a bad connection that you will have to track down. I would check the fuse box though and see if all that is on one circuit or not.

    For the door...when's the last time it was greased? Lubrication might give it some life back.
