All electrical components 'flickering' :/

Post by Jdean89 »

For some reason everything on the car seems to be flickering - headlights, dash lights, glovebox light, you can even hear the heater blowing harder and softer + the stereo cuts out. What I dont get is the battery is charged and the car has no trouble starting and running. It does not do it with the engine off(just ignition on) and it does it worse when you rev the engine :/

Any advice would be much appreciated :)

Don't know what it is but i have something similar.

When i wash/wipe the windows, when the wipers click back to their starting position my interior light gives a little faint flash.

Any help on this would also be appreciated. Hope you get yours sorted.
