Lights Flickering
I just got my 2001 Camaro SS and notice at night while I'm driving all the lights flicker even the dash just enough to notice. I used my volt meter to check the battery I get 12v. I started my car and and check again and I'm getting about a little over 13.5. I check the battery connections all tight and clean. I check also the ground one on the battery side and another on driver side all look good. I ntoice a few people or having this issue. Could it still be the alternator even if it's charging?

I don't know if this is your problem but I remember when I bought my car I would go over bumps and my lights would come on and off inside? I figured out that it was my trunk that was open and I geuss these car don't have a light for when your trunk is open I still feel dumb because I didnt notice it for like 2 weeks lol.

alternator
Well it was the alternator. Replaced it light are not flickering anymore. But I have another problem now. While I was replacing the alternator I had to move the tranmission cooler lines just a little now I have a leak I can not see where it's coming from But my guess it's where the lines hookup to the tranmission. Is this a costly repair if I bring it to a shop?

The only time my lights would dim and come back up is when my cooling fans kick on... anyone else notice this? Happens on the highway as well... its not a flicker, just they dim for a second then come back.

2001 z28 same problem
I checked the alternator at auto zone . Said it was good ? My lights still flicker and I did a code scan on it and it brought up misfires and a shortage ? Could it be a ground by the alternator ?? Plz help

I had this happen a year after getting the hawk in 05 with just 300 miles on the od. Lights flickered maybe 3 times in a 30 day period. Did that Big 3 upgrade shortly after that and never happened again.
