audioman21 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I have a 96 Cavalier, Kicker zx1500.1, zx350.2, big three in 0 gauge, and a yellow top and a new 105 amp alt... The problem is when I'm idling the lights tend to dim to the idle of the engine. Then sometimes while I'm driving they dim to the reving of the engine( kinda like a pulsating dim). It does all this when all the electricals are off and just the cars running. I know the electricals should support the setup as I see people running twice as much in amps with the same electricals. I'm all out of probabilities, anyone have any advice guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decaf Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 and its only 105a, both of those amps together could pull more than that combined 200a would help alot more replace stock bat if you havent with another yellow check alt again too pulsating electrical components is no good!

audioman21 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Yellow top and alt were put in at the same time like 2 months ago. I got them both at Autozone. If I need to upgrade alt. thats fine but what would be causing the pulsating problem? Missing Link, how much is that module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
