MLA Install made my headlights flutter


Recommended Posts

Did you just install the alternator or was it already in?

it's already been in for several months. As for pics, they are a no go, digi has gone missing somehow. Best description is the mla is mounted on the inner fender lip in the engine bay, the grounding point is bolted up to another factory grounding point. The harness from the MLA goes down the fend about 10" and snakes up the air intake to the alternator.

increases charging voltage.

sounds like a bad alt to me

I disconnected the MLA module from the alternator and just had the alternator on it's own and the fluttering went away. I know the grounding point for the module is a solid contact so i'm thinking the module is bad. Last time i buy anything used i guess.

I sent a message to MLA here on the forum and they replied back to me asking when i bought it, i told them that i bought it second hand and that i cut the pre-terminated ends off already so i know it's not under warranty, but if it's fixable than i might think about it, otherwise i'd rather just spend the coin and get the switchable module next.

The lights are just the standard factory lights, soon to be HID with custom projector lamps.

My big 3 grounding is directly to a freshly cleaned frame rail so try re-cleaning the grounding point. My tension also bounces around alot since it's original from 2000 when the truck was built, so i'm gonna change that out and see if thats whats up with it.
