Cool! Have Daytime running lights, these work flawlessly...but when I "move the switch to the highbeams, they begin to flicker. It makes sense that the switch could be bad.
Switch... ground connection...wires to old or damaged ...
Get this man viral he is so helpful!!
Only one of my headlight flickers,on the high beam it doesn't......you got a like 👍
2009 Chevy impala The passenger headlight works sometimes but not other times. first thing I did was, replaced the bulb. got to check plugs, and fuses next. then the switch.
We have a new battery and alternator and the head lights are still flickering .. . the body of this 1998 Chrysler Sebring Convertible is rusting badly; so, as you said check the ground connections and I noticed that the relay for the lights clicks when the lights flicker and auto parts said that is one
symptom a bad relay.
Why people make videos talk more than what they're supposed to tell us😍🤣
My 82 cutlass started flickering batterie is new and checked alternator that’s good ima change switch now thanks hope it works
Hi i have a Audi A4 2004 and i was driving at night and my lights flashed off and on and my radio did the same can you tell me why this has happened and how do i fix it
1988 k5 blazer. Low beams ontop of high beams. Low beams work great, but about 2 min after I turn on my high beams all four head lights after flashing. New batteries meaning I have two. New alternator all grounds are good and new light switch. Any idea what's causing it?
2005 dodge Durango headlights and turn signals constantly blinking can you help me please
Good advice on headlight switches 1:40 , but I had flickering lights in my car , all lights , thought alternator was dying , but first I cleaned battery heads , everything was ok after that ,... to find if your battery heads cause the problem, measure the voltage between the REAL two battery heads and measure voltage between the two metal connections attached to the real battery heads ...if they are different , battery heads should be cleaned and tightened
How should you clean them?
I have a Saab 97x 4.2. and I'm confused. The low beams always flicker out. The high beams work all the time with no flickering. I going to replace my alternator because to tested bad. I did not test the battery.
Is it common for 2 low beams to go bad at once? Is it the balusters?
Well to answer your question both bulbs travel the same road so yes is possible However with flickering on low only do a wiggle test on all wiring near headlamp bulbs particularly the ground wires and see if you can make it flicker. if you can then wiggle till you find the sweet spot. A week headlamp relay could also be a place to look. Also some of those Saabs were recall for this problem so check Saab usa customer service and have your vin # when you call.....Please post outcome
2011 chevy silverado lights flicker when it shifts or down shifts i cleaned grounds even added ground to alternator still does it.

I've replaced all of that on my truck and still doing it. They really only do it when I'm driving. Dash also flickers with it. Especially if the ac is on
Did you figure it out?
To L and Richard: Have New models include safety features such as blinking lights please respond when you have the time?
I'm gonna try this out with my truck because my truck is going through the exact same thing. I've already tested the alternator and battery and they both check out
Ever figure out what was wrong ?
Hi, need help here. My husbands sierra 1995 rear lights, 4 way lights and left way signal flickers super fast. He has to press the 4 ways lights button to stop the flickering... It will stop for a while and then starts flickering again.. Any ideas?
Forgot to mention alternator and batterie tested and are fine...
that usually mean at least 1 bulb is out it could be front or back of vehicle but it will be on the side that is blinking faster than normal
I have a 2011 sierra and all lights flicker, I've changed alternator ,battery and added a ground battery to body, not to engine yet, but lights still pulse. Would the headlight switch make interior lights pulse as well?
Yes it could look at back of switch where wiring plugs in for signs of heat or burning
Have the same issue on my 09 silverado. dakotaray2003 did you solve your flicker?
HELPPPP.... Before I replaced the fuel pump on my 94 silverado c-1500 2wd 5.0 the gauge would go way past the full mark and it would run out as soon as it hit the red for reserve on gauge. Ok now I had to replace the fuel pump and now my gauge isn't working at all and my headlights will go to flashing at times. Any ideas?? Thanks for any help!! Just hitting for any help I can get. Had some guy do the work now with this he seems to have left me high and dry..
fuel pump replaced and no gauge is your float/sender... probably broke when you replaced the housing
I have a 09 Nissan Altima 6spd manual. All the lights on the interior work fine. But while driving/under a load headlight surge badly. Almost to where they go out. Just wanted sumone else's opinion.
Sure thank you sir
My 2004 trailblazer problem ended up being relay fuse number 46. Took the fuse out and tightened the pins. Worked for me and stopped the headlight flickering
Eventually the flickering started again, so I replaced the relay this time for $30 and have had no problems for 2 weeks so far.
Yes sir thanks for the information...i already checked those connection and alternator and all seem to be ok...my problem is at the fuse box and headlight relay when I pushed down on the relay the headlights turn off when I let go they stay switched on...even when I remove the inside headlight switch the headlights stay on...could it be my fuse panel the one that is bad...thanks in advance...
yes or just bad relay did you replace?
My alternator went bad and drained my battery. I replaced the alternator and now the battery light will occasionally come on on my dash, and my headlights sometimes dim when I'm driving
check for loose or corroded cables or broken ground wires
quick question my lights are flickering and my cluster lights are all on any idea what that could be
truck still runs and drives though
What kind of vehicle?
@@RichardRayBuyHerbalifeNow 05 dodge durango
Ok those Durangos have often a bad headlight switch. Old one just pops out when tabs are sqeesed and here is a link where you can buy one. amzn.to/2KPEN95
Water In the headlights can cause the flickering also.
What causes the lights in the whole vehicle to start flickering in a 2007 Chrysler Aspen?
Hey I'm sorry I'm in the hospital now but I do remember that some of those Chrysler's have a battery cable that goes from the battery to a junction volt and then from The Junction bolt to the starter and it's the connection at the junction bolt that gets corroded and you follow the cable from the positive side of the batteryto tje Junction bolt I'm sorry and then both sides of the junction bolt and all the cables connected to it be sure you disconnect the negative battery cable first and reconnect the negative battery cable last see if that helps if not message me back thanks
@@RichardRayBuyHerbalifeNow in the hospital? what happened? are you ok?
My car headlights blocking while driving and cant get up to speed like it should. It's a 02 Mitsubishi eclipse.
Why do my lights turn off when I turn off the light switch??
What??! Lol
03 sonoma battery and alternator are good. got a new head light switch since I needed one. the switch works great now but lights still flicker. grounds are good. but I have seen another video on here a guy as adding another wire to the male plug for the alternator and running it to the battery. I know there is another metal tab on the female plug of the alternator but I'm sceptical on doing that because the factory didn't make it that way and I don't want to get up one morning and see the truck in flames. you ever heard of doing that.
Dustin Howard you find the problem?
Dustin Howard 07 Cadillac escalate I changed the light and the ballast and it still won't work, one side drive aside its flicking off and on I checked the fuse and the batteries. Bread new.
5 months ago I had the battery checked and the alternator the problem never stopped even with a new battery did not replace alternator hooked my voltmeter up to it and everything shows all good so you think it's the light switch then it's an 08 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 I'll tell you what last week I was driving it lost all gauges I put a ground strap from the braided one on the firewall on the driver side to the alternator and all my gauges oil pressure came back and everything's working fine now now the only thing that's not working is the lights dome light and headlights are still flickering and my amp gauge is still all over the place but the other stuff is all cleared up oil sending unit had no oil pressure all of those problems cleared up with that ground strap that I put in but the flickering lights have not where do I go I'm disabled and don't have the money to spend at a repair shop
definetly sounds like a broken ground wire or lose connection on positve battery cable, if you positive cable goes to the little red juntion box next to engine then open the box and check connection there as well.
I just installed some Phillips LEDs turn lights and they wont function - they are the correct size recommended
sometimes you need to get the load equalizers for the led lights

rich my head lights on my dodge grand caravan 2001 sometimes come on one at time or none at all the yellow lights works thanks can you help me
+john steven derrick John for one at a time headlights I tend to think you have a wiring problem so check the connectors at the back of the headlights themselves and also the connector on the back of the headlight switch look for any burned or melted areas and replace accordingly
thanks so much it was the connection between the fuse box and the module in front that was bad thanks for your help
my headlights won't come on I changed the headlight bulb but I won't come on what's problem and how do I fix it
check your fuses
can someone please tell me why my new led fog lights flicker when I start my engine?
You may need capacitor amzn.to/2lTWbeA check this link for possible answer
You also need a relay for the fog lights . . . a bad relay (according to Auto zone) will turn on and off. Electronic supplies sell relays for 2-5 dollars .. . don't pay $40 at a dealer. . go to a salvage yard and get one.
alternator is new, battery is new, light switch is new, dimmer switch is new. But turn on high beams and after about 2 minutes the lights start flickering.. So this video was of no help
@Dalton Jones : I know this is late, but some LEDs have to be installed one way only. Flip them around and see if polarity was reversed
I've got a 2014 gmc Sierra I've checked the battery checked alternator checked all grounding wires. The headlights and interior lights flicker any one else having this problem?
Yep. Did you fix
Same issue on my 2015 Sierra. I had my battery and alternator checked, both are good. I cleaned the grounds I got a new headlight switch.. still nothing!!!!! Don’t know what to do anymore. Maybe just trade it in for a FORD!😂
Did you get it resolved?
I have jeep cherokee 2016
Flickering light I changed all headlights my battery new
omar yassen did you fix the issue ?
I am gonna try this
iv changed battery, alternator,light switch,new bulbs, done tons of grounds and nothing still flicker
Daniel Lloyd sorry Daniel but this guy is FULL of shit. the issue is because it needs a capacitor in line with the led. go to ebay and look up led capacitor they average from 14 to 25 bucks.
WORLDisFULLofLIES so why didn't this capacitor come stock from factory?
NewEra805 Madrigal some vehicles don't need the cap. And some models do due the the resistance and the type of light control it has.
Daniel loydd
might also be what they call lcm module(light control module). just started having yhe same problem with my car and apparently ford had a notorious problem with that.
voltage regulator
That happened to me when the battery is dead.
Great video good advice thank you
good straight up info bud save me alot of shit
thank ypu sirgod bless you
What year is your car? January 12, 2005 Chrysler put out a service bulletin. Here it is. www.wkjeeps.com/misc/LX/TSB_300C_Forums/TSB_1800305.pdf
The dealer in my city said they see a lot of these cars that need their computer updated. Not just what is on this bulletin.
Yes my headlights/dashlights pulsating and the car even runs better. I didn't know it was running bad. It just runs better with better response now.
I have a 2006 DTS head light flicker and just goes out
Bravo
Why do my like go out while driving down road
Check the bcm fuse inside the truck
My lights will shut rite off
+David Larocque check headlight switch or connector on back of headlight switch
David Larocque same
Same problem
my cars lights goes in and out and than the high beam comes on by itself
My headlights flickered for a fraction of a second, and very occasionally, maybe three or four times, when I was driving these two nights. Other than that, the lights seemed to be working normally.
I checked both relays and they seemed good.
This forum guy called "Tester" says :
" The flickering lights might from a failing rectifier in the alternator. The rectifiers convert AC voltage to DC voltage. When a rectifier fails, it allows an AC ripple voltage into the vehicles electrical system causing the lights to flicker. "
community.cartalk.com/t/head-lights-flickering/57476/4
Might this be the cause in my case ? I was thinking a failing rectifier in the alternator might cause the lights to be flickering regularly, and not occasionally as in my case.
Other than that, I was thinking it might be the lights switch stalk on the steering column. However, switching the stalk on and off when the car was stationary, the lights seemed fine.
Tham WK I have the same problem
