no, but I'd like to know the underlying cause when you find out.bobbel0809 wrote:Hello,
I have been having an issue with my headlight flashing when I decrease speed and as I'm braking to stop or turn. I researched and figured it was the alternator going bad since I have 108 K miles. I replaced the battery about 3 month ago as well and cleaned the terminals really good with baking soda so that should be ok.
I deciced to take to the dealer to have it checked out. The hooked it up and did a system check and said the alternator was fine but said the belt tensioner was going bad because there was too much play in the belt and it was slipping on the alternator. So I had the tensioner and belt replaced.
few days later while driving at night the same issue happening so scheduled 2nd appointment.
I guess we will see what they come up with this time. Any ideas?
Thanks
your symptoms sound like an alternator/voltage regulator, or battery related problem.bobbel0809 wrote:Thanks eieio for your reply.
Sorry i wasn't clear on the alternator part. I assumed this was the problem going into the dealership but they said it was fine and didn't need to be replaced. We will see what happens when I take it back in this week.
