:banghead: I changed my Negative cable. Not the entire cable, but just the connectors. Started driving out of town and I noticed that the dashboard and radio would flicker off and then on. My positive was loose, so I changed that, but it is still flickering. Like it has a short. Could it be that I have to change the entire cables for both? The short didn't start happening until I changed my negative connector.....Any clues?

You could have some corrosion on the cables themselves and/or on the terminals. Clean the terminals REAL good and make sure they are on there TIGHT!

Thank you. Just took the car to the shop. Will let you know what it turns out to be. Thanks again.

Most people do not know that a simple solution of baking soda and water, to get rid of all acid, then clean and tighten the cables. Also make sure your battery is up on fluid. and or is charged up to 13.5 volts..

Very true. And a lot of people don't clean the wires properly before attaching another battery connector on it.

betting on a bad battery, since the dash lights are flickering before and after.

True, could be a bad battery.
