Lights fade under load
All my interior lights and my head lights fade under load. Even if I just press the brakes. I had the alternator load tested and it checked out fine. I added new 4 guage grounds and power lines. Still no dice. Any suggestions?

damn i was thinking ground wires just clean then retihgn oem and aftermarket grounds with lithuim grease
|
Yeah, that's what I was leaning towards but still have the same problem. Very frustrating.
|
It might be that the white plastic connector on the left side of this picture (above the left horn) has degraded and come loose:

Thanks. I'll check that out tonight. Would that cuase the dash lights to fade as well or is that connector mainly for the head lights?
Any other ideas, gurus? |

What did the alternator test out at? It still possibly could be the regulator on the alternator causing the issue.
|
I took it to an altenator shop. I watched the guy test it. All he did was put a load on it and said the volts stayed above 13.5. He did this a few times and handed it back.
|
Also, if I'm driving at a constant speed I have no dimming lights what so ever. Even with the radio up. But at a stop, my lights will blink to the rythm of the music.

Isn't this a pretty normal thing?

There is an electrical load sensor that I've heard can go bad.
You will want to run a search or read the FSM about it. Dave |
Also, it's pretty basic, but check your battery connections. Last time I had weird voltage issues the damn positive had an intermittent connection and it fried my alt and my jacobs amp......
