Bizarre cabin light & keyless entry problem
So I walk out to my car tonight to find the cabin light flickering like a bad ceiling light in a horror flick, and also find the keyless entry not responding to the remote. I unlock the car manually and turn the cabin light from auto to off, then back to auto, close the door, and it's still flickering. So I just turn it off and go about my business. Keyless entry still isn't working at this point so I reprogram it. Works fine now, and I'm leaving the cabin light set to always off just to be on the safe side, but by the time I got home it appeared to be working correctly.
Any idea what would cause such a random problem or how I could make sure it doesn't happen again? I don't know how long a flickering cabin light would take to drain the battery, but I don't intend to find out!

Just a suggestion, but you may want to reset your radio.
If it is stock, your light and keyless entry run thru it. If thats
doesn't correct the problem I would be willing to bet your
radio is crapping out on you. That is if you have a stock
keyless entry system. Good Luck!!!!

WHen you say keyless you mean stock right? If its an aftermarket unit and you got an optional proximity sensor and the wires were not diode isolated then it will flicker when anything in or around the car moves. Its quite funny to me but most customers dont think so.
