Alternator issue?
Last night I noticed that the dome lights slightly flicker (temporarily and quickly change brightness) when I flip the accelerator pedal while in Park. Could it be a symptom of some kind of an electrical problem? The light goes slightly dimmer while the engine revs up. I would understand it becoming brighter with higher RPMs but not dimmer... :dunno:

You know I noticed that too. I had taken it to the dealer some time ago, but they of course could not replicate it.
|
Check the fan belt tension, it may be slipping initially when you raise the rpm (charging is actually dropping as rpm raised).
|
i noticed that also and then loss of power and then death of the alternator. No batt light or other warning idiot lights.

I think I should raise the question with my service advisor on the next visit. In my case, it is very easy to reproduce and I will take a moment to show him what happens when he files the paperwork.
