little help please

hey i tried a search and came up with nothing. some times my dome light doesnt work. what i mean is that i can open the car sometimes with the keyless entry and the dome light wont go on. and when i shut the car off and pull out the key sometimes it doesnt go on, same thing after you open the door. i am sure it is on AUTO and if i flick it to ON it doesnt work. note this only happens sometimes say 1 out of 5. also the other day i had the light on when i was driving and it flickered for a moment. i dont know if its a short or a bad bulb or a fuse. sorry for the long post but i want to be specific. any help is appreciated thank you

Probably just a bad bulb. It might be a loose wire because u said it flickered, but the bulb doesnt cost alot of money, if it bothers you that much just buy the replacement. If it still happens, its the wire.I doubt its a fuse because then the light shouldnt work at all
