Re: weird flicker with headlights

I'm pretty ignorant with most electrical things, but with the sound system, a power cap (is that what they are called?) can help with the lights flickering. I've seen ads in Bimmer magazine and others about voltage stabilizers help eliminate the sudden drain and thus your problem....

Actually the man who pioneered using them years ago has now shifted his position on them. With most of the newer amps our now a days they are proving to be detrimental to your alternator in some cases.

It's the daytime running light module causing power flucuations when they get hot they will do that nothing to worry abou t

Thanks for calming my fear that something else was wrong.

Volktech I still ask them to check what you mentioned above.

Nope not first power window car, First import car though, other that a Crappy Hyundai I had in the early 90's.

Car before Golf was a 1997 Ford Escort, power windows, locks the whole nine yards.

Love this car handling and in the snow.

Little things worry me and as you know this car hasn't been a cake walk for me. Gawd how I wish it had. I just once want to be able to drive off the lot with no problems when purchasing new.

Anyhow enough of that it will ok Thanks for the great info as always Guys.

Huge Hug coming your way!

ACTUALLY SATNAM IS RIGHT. All caps locks jokes aside you can fix the problem if you want to but it will take a lot of work for little gains.

Thanks Brent. Good to know I appreciate the info.
