Slight flickering on all electrical components
All components that illuminate (i.e., headlights, parking lights, dashboard lights, the time on the radio face, the dome light) have this slight flickering thing going on now. Anyone know what it might be and how to correct it?
I noticed this slight flickering a little after I gave this guy a jump. My brother removed the jump leads from the guy’s car, but he wasn’t being careful (technically, its called “being a dumbass”
) and the leads touched two or three times, giving off the big sparks when u do that. After that I parked the car, shut it off, went into the store, came out a half hour later, started it up without a problem, and drove it to my cousin’s place without a problem, but by that time it was dark, so I had the headlights/dash lights on. That’s when I noticed the slight flickering on the dash, the lights in the radio, and the dome light when the door was opened (engine is running).
The car stills runs without a problem, but this slight flickering is a little irritating. Thanks for any help guys.

It seems like you partially damaged the regulator.
Fastest fix is to R&R the alternator.
Happy Racing!
If People Drove Any Slower They’d Be Going BackwardsFog lights are not driving lights. Keep em turned off slow pokes.
How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!
