97PA voltage dropxavier h 04-06-2008, 01:35 PM 148K When I hit the brakes the lights dim for a moment. The alternator/regulator is new and I had it checked out. The battery is also good but not charging the way it should? Any ideas? Corroded wire? P.S. Did the upper manifold change, what a job. Change the valve cover gskt's, plugs/wires and thermostat. No more leaks or engine odors! Runs like a top.

The dimming effect you describe sounds like the alternator.The cables could be corroded badly and cause lots of problems.Never really liked side mount battery posts.:runaround: I had the same thing happen and that fixed my problem. I never noticed any light dimming with the sensors going out.Just rough idle. maxwedge 04-08-2008, 07:42 PM Sometimes. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
