lights dipping, power loss
#5
(22-12-2013, 10:05 PM)Ricky Wrote: Wondering if anyone has had this problem before. When driving along at night every now and then my headlights dip for a split second, its been doing it for a while but has recently got slightly worse. I've always suspected maybe bad earth somewhere or the fact that my battery terminals aren't as tight as I would like them. Within the last couple of days however I get an intermittent power loss, only for a split second but its enough to feel it, and I'm pretty sure my lights dip at the same time.

Anyone have any ideas/experience with a similar problem?

Hi. I have had the same problem. In my case it was the battery terminals. I had to insert metal spacers round posts and hey presto it cured it. I have since had other problem with earth point corroded and starter lead connection come loose. Cleaned and tightened both,seems to of cured it for now.
