Hi,
I wonder if any of you can help with a problem I have been having with my 2003 Chrysler Neon.
Basically, when I am driving at night with the headlights on and the electrical load on the system changes (by turning rear headed windscreen on/off, or putting the indicator on/off) All the lights flicker for a few seconds.
After a few seconds the flickering always stops.
At first I thought the rectifier or voltage regulator must be on its way out, however yesterday I did a few experiments with a voltmeter and found that at idle the system voltage is 13.9 but the resting voltage of the battery is only 12.1 Volts, and the battery is the origional factory fitted one (over 4 years old now)
Also the flickering does not happen during the day (I can tell from the backlit odometer) it seems to be related to the load the system is under.
Could it just be the battery? Anyone experienced anything similar to this?
