Flickering Check Gages light:Possibly need alternator Posted this in PCM section as well:
My check gages light is flickering. Only while accelerating or revving the engine.
It doesn't do it when I hit bumps or hit the dash area.
Voltage gage is fluctuating from 11 to 13.8.I see these same fluctuations on VCM voltage when logging with HPtuners.
Received a MIL malfuntion DTC (premature) once but then it went away and stayed gone.
Flickering will actually stop if car is idled for awhile. The flickering went away for about 5 minutes while driving this afternoon and then reappeared during the drive.
I'm thinking alternator. Any brands you recommend?
I've checked most connections but have not disassembled dash yet.
any ideas?
