My car used to flicker at night, when the headlights were on @ first start up...one little rev=gone.
Tonight, I got in it and it's blinking/dimming (brighter to darker, and vice versa) like I'm in a John Travolta movie.
Somewhat changes when I fool with heater controls, and rear defrost (draw the most load)...
Alt. belt is also at the end of the bracket,so I need a alt. belt regardless...actually have it, just haven't replaced old one yet. Anyway, just wondering if any had similiar things happen when volt. regulator went out?===If I can just replace the volt. reg, do the bushings come attached to it (pre soldered?)
Also will the volt. reg. that bmpdesign sells, and claims to work===REALLy work (Part Number 5846) just a different, rectangular housing?.
BTW, my car is a 1991 318is. Takes the valeo 105 amp style regulator.
Thanks in advance, and I really appreciate any useful leads and/or answers.
