Flickering dash

Post by mcbainia » Fri Jan 21, 2011 11:05 pm

hi there,

The last few days when I turn my engine on in the morning and put the lights on, my dash lights click and dim intermittently for a few seconds. It sounds like an indicator noise and it does it about 5 times and then stops. Anyone else had this prob? Is it trying to tell me something?

Sounds like your battery either needs a good charge or you have something putting a BIG load on the battery! I would go for a battery that's a bit low on charge, give it a good run or stick it on a charger for 24 hours at least.

I am having battery issues at the moment but the leisure battery. Perhaps my other battery could be doing with a charge too. I'll give that a whirl.

Thanks again
