OK, the dealer says there is nothing wrong... But my dash, head and interior lights flicker. It is like a strobe light but not bright and seems to be happening all the time or at least a few minutes after driving. Also the SRS light started coming on and the dealer says there are no codes present for the SRS light to indicate a problem. I also had to replace the battery, which had another 4 years of life on it but was now bad. I have no idea what this is. Has anyone heard what might be causing this.

did you check the output of the alternator?

my dash kinda does the same. kinda like when I had subs but I haven't had them in years and have bought a new alternator and battery. bump for some info

Sounds like the alternator is taking a ****, otherwise clean your grounds. Might as well do that latter reguardless, they should be cleaned as often as your oil changes honestly.

yea, check your grounds, go to someone who sells batteries and have your charging system checked. wal mart automotive has midtronics battery testers and so does checkers/schucks/kragen

I've been having the same issue for a long time now.. Although I replaced the alt about 2 years ago so I didn't even consider it in the process of trying to find what was causing this...

Yes, Honda had it for a day and tested it and said it was fine. I also read somewhere that a bad distributor might cause this as well. I just don't want to shell out and replace all these things and still have the problem.

Like I said, clean and redo the grounds in your engine bay at the very least. It's free and it could very well fix many of your electrical problems.

i think its your grounds. alternator would be a slow dimming of everything, untill the eventual ****-taking. sounds like something is loose/damaged/dirty.
