head lights/charging system

Post by blue70 »

i've noticed lately that when driving with the head lights on the light will get a little brighter off and on kinda flicker they dont really get any dimmer than they should they just kinda brighten up. just wandering if this could be a ground problem or voltage regulator or altenator? :hmm:

well i found the problem there was a loose wire on the altenater i tightened it up and now shes charging good. i guess the wire was wigglin around and when it made contact is when the lights would britten up. i guess thats why i found the battery weak a couple of times. thanks for your reply. :clap:
