Interior light flicker.

gh0st3794 · 03-03-2010, 06:36 PM

I noticed something tonight while I was idling in my driveway. I had the interior lights on, and I noticed that when I tapped the accelerator the interior lights would flicker ever so slightly. I also noticed that the exterior running lamps(not the HID headlights) would slightly flicker as well every time I tapped the pedal (noticed this while observing the light shining on the garage door). Anyone else experience this as well?

how is the voltage meter?

Might be something with the power generator thingy messing up or cabling that went wrong

Volt gauge reads fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. The flicker is very slight. You have to really pay attention to notice it. If someone else could test theirs out that would help.

Voltage at idle and voltage at a higher RPM is different. Nothing unusual there. The factory volt meter does not have enough resolution to see the small differences. Put a digital voltmeter on the battery and you'll probably see it vary by as much as a volt..

I have a scan tool that I can use to verify voltage. But other than that, is what I'm experiencing normal?
