Flickering lights on startup? after i crank my car,the lights, interior and exterior, go crazy for the first minute or so. they never go completely out though. any ideas? bad ground? lights also will flicker on and off on the rearview long after automatic timer has went off, dont know enough electrical to even have a clue.. help?

alternators are plug and play. I'm getting mine rebuilt now. Remove back screw first. Then loosen the front 3 bolts. slide the alternater and pulley bracket forward about an inch. Use Left hand to feel for the clip. R hand with small screw driver to flip the lip off the red wire plug. pull alternater and pulley off. Takes 20 min. Reverse order and drive away.
