Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / February 2007what's going on with my lights?
I'm driving a 94 Nissan Sentra LE, with 136k miles on it. On my home from work, I drive up a pretty large hill that goes for about .5 mile. During the middle of the climb I noticed my lights were flickering. This includes the headlights and the lights on the dash and radio. Does this sound like an alternator problem? Thanks in advance. > I'm driving a 94 Nissan Sentra LE, with 136k miles on it.

Thanks in advance. Flicker like that often portends alternator problems or ground connection problems. You might be lucky and this could be a belt or tensioner issue. > I'm driving a 94 Nissan Sentra LE, with 136k miles on it.

Thanks in advance. Sounds like bad grounds. Check the wires & connections leading from the alternator & battery negative (to body and to engine block). Remove the ends and clean off the rust/dirt/paint that may be on both the connector & the sheet metal. |
