I'm having this same damn problem! I can't figure out what it is I asked my tuner about it the last time he tuned my car.....he checked everything out with the tactix cable connected and said everything was running how it should and my alternator is fine......i guess im SOL

yah im having the same problem but my stereo goes out for some reason. then if i drop her into neutral the stereo comes back on. i had some corrosion on my pins from the thread posted above. i already rewired all my wires with shrink tubing and all that jazz, yet the problem still persists. just put a brand new alternator on there maybe 3wks ago (90amp i think). any suggestions?

 

yeah i saw that thread, but i checked at the connector and it doesn't have any build up at all......plus i live in az so we get rain like twice a year lmao.....i guess im just gunna take it up to the stealership and have them fix it.

 

do you have a stock stereo? even on some stock stereo components you could have a high voltage drop/current draw with heavy bass. see if its rhythmic with what you are listening too.

used to happen in some of my other cars with stock components at moderate volumes.

also, its commonly known that automotive electrical systems operate at about 14v even though they are 12v systems. audio component manufacturers have even taken this into account designing components to take advantage of this extra voltage.

 

nope its an aftermarket stereo but the lights only flicker when im on the gas or decelerating......i think im gunna take apart my interior today to see if there's any cables just lying around. I bought my car with 13k miles on it and it already had a ****load of wiring for a system and screens and **** so i took mostly all of it out one day and im wondering if i missed some wires and that could be causing the problem.
