[QUOTE="*Jay*, post: 16434196, member: 108453"] These may sound like silly questions but please bear with me. Is the battery light on? Are you using a multi-meter to check your voltage or is this with a gauge of some kind? If you dont have a multimeter you may want to pick one up. Is everything flickering at the same rate or in sync? Does it flicker while driving or at idle? Does the flickering stop with everything turned on and not just on a bass hit? Are these LED bulbs or standard filament bulbs that are flickering? Can you list all of the lights that are flickering in detail i.e. tail lamps, dash lights, dome light, etc, etc. I will take a look at the schematics for you. Personally I would re-check all the ground wires, crimps, terminals and junctions for your charging system. Wanna be sure everything is nice, clean and tight. Look for any hard bends, kinks, pinches, damage, melted spots or random bits of electrical tape on wiring anywhere near where you were working for the alternator replacement and the big 3 upgrade. Do the same around the power distribution box as well. This is how I found all the cut and tucked/missing ground leads and damaged positive battery harness on my Cobra. I would also pull and check the fuses for the circuits that the lights are flickering on, they dont always fail immediately wide open and can show signs of excessive heat. [/QUOTE]
