Odd thing I noticed.

kannibul · 08-13-2009, 08:35 AM

When the door is open, and the interior light is on (might do it with the door shut and the light set to on) - when you rev the engine - the light flickers.

Anyone else notice this? Maybe the VVEL sucks up a lot of power - lol...

maybe the light has a bad connection and when your power usage spikes....it flickers???

Not flickers on and off - just as if the voltage is swinging a few volts or the amperage is shifting.

Could be the alternator (voltage regulator) shifting voltage taps. Just something I've not seen in other cars...

I haven't noticed that at all. And I've had many dyno runs done with the front door open revving at WOT.

Maybe it doesn't do it with it in gear?

Mine's an auto as well, maybe that makes a difference?

Could be. I'll experiment later with it in neutral and let you know if anything changes.
