guys, its been a long time since ive visited this thread.

been enduring this one issue since the first service of my forte one year ago which is the car lights flickers and the dashboard as well! the car had been sent twice to naza service and the problem is still not rectified!

feel like giving up on the flicker issue......

care to describe the car light flicker issue? first time hearing of it
*
first 10mins drive usually no problem. but after that each time i brake near a traffic light for example, the lights on the dashboard and headlights and even i try to on all the room lights, it flickers! but if in motion the flickering stops.

ive send it to SC twice they told me no problem but the issue still comes back. no idea what is causing this. tried grounding cables and voltage stabilizer but was only temporary solve.

hi guys,

ive check the cables at the engine bay and all seems to be intact. but the lights still flicker.

i do notice one thing that when the aircond is off the flickering is barely noticeable but if on then flickering gets obvious...

No option but to change the alternator... Sometimes is due to the diode pack...
But after you say you have verify all(which I doubt so, no offence by any means) but cannot find any fault, is better you let the SC to check and verify it... I can say it is already out of your scope to continue more...
Risk of getting warranty void are there..... Don't take that... Must know, you have 5 years warranty, make full use of it...

haiz. this will be my third trip to SC. btw my warranty ithe standard one not extended


Added on July 26, 2011, 1:08 pmif diode pack problem the the battery should be kong by now...
