When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and didnt like it. I didnt inhale, and I didnt try it again.

This just started.... or at least I just noticed it. With the headlights
on dim and engine warmed up and idling, the brightness cycles from normal
to
slightly dim. Cycle time is around a second. When I rev the engine
slightly, they return to normal steady brightness.

When running with or without lights, the ammeter is just right of center,
slightly charging, in the normal position.

I don't suspect a connection -- within the last 2 months, I removed and
cleaned all the battery connections, including regulator and other parts
when I was fixing a grounding issue.

Battery cranks start just fine. No other indications of failing battery.

Thanks folks,

What ABOUT it, Coloon? Eh?

posted for all of us...


Generators needed to control maximum current as well as maximum
voltage, AND disconnect from the battery when not charging(cutout) so
the generator didn't "motor" and draw all the power out of the battery


And don't forget to "pulverize" it when installing!

You're definitely wrong about that. Atlternators made their first
showing in large numbers maybe in 1965 or about then and all of them had
relay-based regulators, with two of them, for several years. Then some
had relay-less regulators within the alternators, but they made cars
with both styles for a while.

I guess I was forgetting sold-state regulators and assuming no matter
what year his car is, he had relays. My mistake. (I don't know if
they ever made external soldi-state regulators.)

Chrysler Corp. vehicles had a transistorized voltage regulator on the firewall. They were pretty reliable. Here's a link to eBay that shows both mechanical and solid state regulators for older Mopar vehicles. My 89 Dodge pickup had the voltage regulator built into the engine control computer. ^_^

I'd get after the grounds, battery to engine, engine to firewall, headlights to radiator support, combination grounds to intake manifold, etc, etc.

around a second

in the normal position?
