  • What is making my lights flicker?!?!

    the interior lights, dash lights, and exterior lights on my '96 have flickered since i got my car and i cant figure it out! all but 1 wire on the alternator wiring harness are cut, but i had it and the battery tested and they tested good... I AM STUMPED! any help would be great!
    thanks,

    i think this is just the way our cars are. get a high output alternator to solve your problem.

          Flickered? On and off? Bright and dimmed? Anything you could be doing to cause this? Stereo bumpin? Turn signal? Depressing brake? Anything at all that is common to the lights flickering.

            it could be a poorly grounded wire going to your headlight

              it constantly happens to the interior light [excluding stereo], and happens to exterior and dash lights when theyre on.. whether stereos on or off, whether engines running or not....

                  Get yourself a LOAD BOSS alternator. Rated at a nice 180A. Search on EBay, or I'll hook U up w/ their (800)# I got mine offa' EBay...I'm thinkin' it only ended up bein' like $175 or so, w/ shipping in that, an' I got the 4-Gauge wire that comes w/ it. It costs $25 (included in the $175 I mentioned) an' U definitely "need it", but it's super nice. This is a STEAL for the ammount O' juice. If you're runnin' MSD's, an' all O' that...TRUST ME, on this one, Brody...U could power a BallPark w/ this piece, no sweat. Oh yeah...I have it on a '97, so U should B straight, there. It's a straight-up bolt-in swap. Goodbye s*h*i*t*t*y 105A...HELLLLO 180A's!! [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]
