Jlaw12 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 My dash lights flicker when I hit bumps sometimes. Is it a grounding issue? What grounds should I check? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compsurge Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 First check your battery - is it fully charged? This will help isolate the issue as a full-car electrical issue or a local dashboard-only issue. Is your battery terminal secured? See if hitting various locations on the dashboard affect your lighting. Check the harnesses near the dash board as well. Do you have the "vacation pics" (FSM)?

Battery is good, terminals are tight and the alternator is good too. Thanks I'll go check that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDZ32 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Mine does the same thing, the AC control panel will flicker between light "on" and lights "off" mode when I'm driving at night sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlaw12 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Ok this has gotten worse it now cuts power to the motor when leaving a light and no it's not me killing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 How did you test your battery and alternator? Take your car to AutoZone and have them test the battery and alternator if you can. Check for a bad ground connection between the engine and chassis. This sounds suspect as the engine is moving and causing an electrical issue. If you're positive your battery and alternator are working correctly, I'd focus on a wiring issue. Tug on every connection firmly (not excessively). If a wire comes out, it is a bad crimp.

Jlaw12 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Found it it was one of the wires coming off the positive terminal, it was super frayed under the split loom. Thanks for the input guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
