lights flicker

renolaw · November 30, 2004

the other night driving home noticed the headlights and dash lights slightly flicker...odd. since then, i've watched this closely and sometimes it flickers, other times it won't. this happens whether i'm driving or at idle... any ideas from the panel?

thanks

this is really odd-- u can clearly see them flicker while driving.. literally it goes bright,dim,bright,dim and so on...even the stereo and dash lights do the same thing at same time...the wife said WTF? and so did i, LOL. the mystery continues...

Sounds like a feature.were you playing hip-hop when this happens? Try switching to country.

I have not seen such a problem. Sorry man.

Mine will dim when I let off the gas as I'm approaching the stop sign at the end of the block. It happens almost every morning... As soon as I hit the gas they brighten back up. I figure it is the fact that the truck was just started with the lights blazing and the heater fan running etc... and that it takes it a few blocks to get the battery back up to a full enough charge to carry the load when I throttle down.

You may have an alternator/voltage regulator problem if yours is constantly flickering.

My wifes 02 Dodge Stratus does this but only when the dash lights are all the way up. If you turn down the dash lights 1 notch it won't do it.

I talked to the dealr about this as my 01 and my 04 do this. They are blaming it on the Alternator and this is normal.... ??

My 01 Dmax does it also from the day I bought it, the dealer replaced the altantor to appease me but still it does it?

The volts stay just above 14 and it hardly ever moves when the truck runs?

75K and still doing it?

The dealer checks the alternator anytime it is there, nothing unusual I am told?

My wifes Lumina has done it from day one. We will be driving down the road and they will flicker for a split second. I thought i was crazy so did the dealer. With this post I can stop taking my medication and hopefully the voices will stop also. Seriously i have tried to track it down for years and had no luck. its still doing it and has 140,000+ miles. i wouldnt worry to much about it.
