Daniel B Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 When i turn my headlights on they are slightly dimmer than they should be. I hit the gas and the lights brighten up. All internal car lighting seems alittle dimmer when i am not touching the gas. Anyone have any ideas what electrical area these problems come from.

DBrucher Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Word. I totally notice it in my dash-clock. You can barely read it with the RPMs low, then on acceleration, it's blindingly bright. And I replaced my alternator no more than 3 months ago. I wonder 'what the deal'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBrucher Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 No, that's what I mean: With a new alternator, where should I look next? It makes me wary to add subs in the trunk attached to this power circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Do a voltage drop test on the battery cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Your battery cables or grounds are bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk_on_blk Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I second the battery cables or grounds... it's probably corrosion. Check and clean all major electrical contacts, mainly the battery cables and the ground location from the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
