Flickering solved!
So I finally solved the flickering issue. After leaving my lights on before
a big trip this weekend, and having it jumped, the battery wouldnt hold a **** of a charge. I just kept a jump pack with and used it most of the weekend and put it on the charger for over a day. Finally it managed to show that it was done charging, and it started up and ran fine. By the time I got to the store 3 miles away, and bought two items, the car refused to start, so I jumped it. When I got back home, I threw it on the charger again and it read that the battery was flat out dead once again. Finally my girlfriends parents decided to buy me a new battery, we took the other one in to have it tested. 13V, and it performed under their load test as well. (Second time in a month this battery checked out.) Well, anyway, we still got a new battery, and kept this old one (a Napa Legend 75) since its still under warrenty. My car runs MUCH better, starts faster, idles smoother, etc. Oh, and I checked everything else for corrosion, and ther was none. Later this week I'll coat the grounds and battery terminals/wires in a spray on anti-corrosion chemical. Cheers, Brian |
