Hello All,
I've found a few posts regarding this problem but have not found anyone mentioning a fix for it. I have a 91SC that recently (at least I just noticed it) began to suffer from an odd electrical problem. Both exterior and interior lights are strobing when the motor is running. My mechanic said it had to be the built-in voltage regulator in the alternator has gone bad (I've read this mentioned in this forum as well) but I replaced the alternator and starter relay at the same time. I did the relay because I hadn't replaced it, and it wasn't too expensive. Anyway, the strobing/pulsating is still there. I've checked all the grounds I can get to including the one on the motor mount and all seems secure. Now, I did replace my battery about 4 months ago, but like I said, I just noticed this strobing in the last 3 weeks.
Could the battery cause this type of problem? I can easily have the battery tested and it is still under warranty but I was just curious if this might be it?
Thanks.
