hi,
i am a total newbie bout cars, please if anyone cud help me out here
my 95 galant's, dash light and other interior lights kept dimming whenever i stepped on the brakes, and came back to normal when i accelerated. At a point when it dimmed, the cd player stopped too.
I had recently got my alternator changed too, but since then some belt keeps squeaking when i stop and accelerate. I dont know if this cud be teh cause of the lights dimming too.
I took it to get my battery tested, and the guy said it is fine. I then asked him to check my alternator, He ran a load test, when the squaking sound came on, and said he feels theres a short somewhere.. have no idea what that means either...
did anyone have this problem, or knows what could be wrong with it.. please reply!!
