My Mazda b3000 1994 dashboard and headlight flicker on then back on. They may stay off for a 10 to 20 secs then back on. If is turn the off and turn them back on they work, but will still flicker again. What could cause this problem?

A failing switch, connections, bad ground connections and relays can cause the problems described.

Have you had the battery and alternator tested and made sure the battery cables are clean and tight?
