Instrument Cluster Flicker. Got in my car turned the key and the cluster acted it's normal 5 second check then when O took off and stopped at a light I noticed the lights dimmed and the cluster started to flicker. I then preceded down the highway and it "gradient" flickered heavy to low. Then I tuned on my country road and then i applied the brights....the chime came on Ding Ding Ding....Ding Ding with the cluster simultaneously flashing and resetting to 0 as if i turned the car on again. The SES, Security, Break and the ABS light cam on, flashed then shut off except the Break and ABS. I plan on checking the brakes on Sunday, but the "Silver Slut" ran like a raped ape. Brakes worked fine, and so did the engine. I pulled in the my drive and shut the Slut off and counted to 10 then started her back up. She fired back up like a liberal getting "offended" and purred like a fed cat. Cluster? Fine, but that dame security light which I fix by juggling the key....done this for 6 years now. Also, the Voltmeter is dancing more that normal. like 12 to 18.....not 14 to 16 like I'm use to?
Bad Cluster?
Short?
Bad Alt?
It has a new belt.
Recent work is both intakes. (I have now "wrench knowledge" but I do now thanks to Pontiac Bonneville Club and Youtube) Wish I could get upgraded here on the forum.
I plan on checking the fuse box because I may have spilled water in it when I flushed the radiator out. I had a blast doing the intakes.
One more thing. Dorman LIM did NOT match up the holes. Went to the yard and got a used one.
What gives guys?
