My Saab has recently developed a problem, when at idle the headlamps seem to dim then get brighter, as well when I turn on the interior lights hey seem to flicker along with the gauge cluster and dash illumination. If I turn on the A/C and increase load on the alternator the flickering stops.
I've verified that the battery is charging correctly with my mulitmeter. Battery holds at 12.8VDC when left overnight. Voltage fluctuates at idle when running at around 13.8~14.1V. I replaced the voltage regulator, from a wrecker car about a week ago when my battery light would stay on dimly lit. Battery light stays extinguised while running, under heavy load and at high rpms. I already have a new voltage regulator on order, the current one is only for the interim to allow me to drive until the new one arrives. Does this sound like a voltage regulation issue or more likely brushes. If brushes what is intailed? Thanks in advance.
