odd electrical problem

[integralover]

i oticed this tonight, i was going to a freinds house left my car on the side of the road real quickly and turned off my headlights but left the parking lights on and turned on my hazards. as i was walking around the back of my car i noticed that the sounds coming out of my exhaust was going to the blink of the hazards. which meant something was not grounded or i don't know. but with every blink the engine's rpm's went down just a tiny bit. nothing really noticable but was wondering what could it be?

oops, nevermind. i applied more vasoline to my exhaust and my fuse relay box and battery terminals and it fixed the problem

that is not me in the second post. but still looking for an answer to this question.

what battery are you running? this most likely isnt the case but you might need a battery with higher voltage.

oh damn true. my battery died on me like 3 months ago and i bought some cheap walmart battery real quick. thnx

I suggest u stick with the normal 12 volt car battery since they are all 12 volts. If you were to find a battery that was more than 12 volts .... dont use it lol. You still might need a new battery, maybe your old one isnt able to maintain the 12 volt potential difference it was rated at when it was new.

hmm, somewhere i heard the're batteries that run higher voltage.

I hear Optimas are good, mostly for offroad use though since they're spill proof, but might do just as well in an onroad application.
