I have the same issue on my '86. If you pop that cover over the instrument panel off, you can see the wiring from the dimmer switch to the interior lights. If you wiggle this the lights will turn on/off dpending on how you hold them.

I'm not sure if the issue is the dimmer switch, or the wiring, becuase I dont have a good way to test. I have heard that some people will set up the interior lights on a sperate switch, though.... I don't know how you would do this as the practice of wiring is not my strong suit, but it's worth looking into. Usually I just smack the cluster gently.
