Lights are flickering. Please help.

So i've already replaced bulbs in my headlights, installed a new battery, checked the fuses and got the alternator benched. Lights are still flickering and still showing signs of electrical issues. Any advice will be helpful, thanks!!

Check all the ground points in the car. One could be loose.

Pulsing? Going on/off constantly? A bit more description would be helpful here. Does it behave differently if the engine is on or off?

Yeah man, the headlight and turn signals will be flickering as well as the turn signals on my dash. It also does this both when the engine is on/off.

I have had the same issue for a while with my car and couldn't figure it out, everything I could think of pointed to a bad ground like everyone is suggesting... And logic agrees with that... With that being said about a month ago it wouldn't start because the alternator finally gave out and the car wouldn't start, I replaced it and my lights no longer flickers, I'd be willing to bet you'll solve that problem when you swap alternators and I wouldnt worry too much about it as long as its just the dome lights that was the main thing that flickered with mine
