94 Civic Tail Light Problem

Hey, I have a 94 Civic Si, and when i turn the head lights on, sometimes i ahve to flick the switch a couple times for the tail lights to come on. And tonight I noticed that they were flickering on and off occaisonally while drive. I could tell cuz the dash clock would brighten, then go dim again. I never thought to look if they flickered when I hit a bump. Any input would be appreciated

You probably have a loose ground somewhere.

Look for a loose connection at the Multifunction Switch. If no loose connections you have a bad Multifunction Switch. Or it's a bad ground, like stated above.
