While driving tonight,I noticed the dash and headlights dim for half a second then return to normal. it was almost as if there was a large draw of current or something.. Anybody else have this issue?

 

do u have a system in the car??? was it doing it constantly or just happened once...

 

No system, I bought this car from an old guy who only drove it to bingo.
It does it every 3-4 minutes. sorta like when you something is a heavy draw of current,

 

i would take it to autozone.. have them test ur alternator...

 

Ya know...I have that problem too. It's whenever the AC compressor comes on. I really don't think it's the alternator because my ScanGauge is showing an almost constant 14 volts.

 

wats it showing when the AC comes on??? thats the next question

 

Unless it gets any worse I think Ill drive it that way till it changes. Like I said its only for a split second.
But Ive noticed another thing.
A strange deep sound after Ive cold started. Is that the compressor building up?

 

that is the ABS self test... that is normal.... if u say it happens every so often, it could be when ur cooling fan kicks on...

 

Thanks KaMLuNg.
I suppose a thouroughbred has many intricacies.

 

My car does the same thing. It seems the whole electrical system has some design flaws. (i.e. the window operators seem very slow, especially passenger side)

 

Slow windows are normal. So is the rare power flicker. My car does the same things.. and so have my other Honda products.

 

Do a search here in the forum and there is a very informative How to on slow windows.
You will need to lube up the tracks.

 

lol
Not windows
flickering lights.
