Question Electirical Essues!!!

Not sure if this is the right area, but I will give it a try.

Well my car has a funny electrical problem, At night with the head lights on. Either sitting at a red light or just letting the car warm up. The lights will fludder and flicker. Hardly noticable at times, but sometimes really noticable. If I have the stereo on and it is cranked up some, the lights will kinda flicker with the beat of the music too. And also, every single time it rains the car will run like complete ***. I mean to the point were it is not drivable, it will throw codes and start missing. But once the car is ran a little and warmed up good, it will stop.

My thoughts are that I have a loose ground somewhere, But I have checked all over the place and I can't seem to find were it is at. What are your thoughts on this.

Thanks in advance

You are seeing the cycling of the alternator.

No the alternator is holding just fine, A little above 13. Does not ever move. Thats what my first guess was also.
