I will probably take it in anyway but I thought I'd see if anyone had any thoughts first. What is the normal amount of fluctuation (how many times can I use that word in one post?) in voltage during normal driving? Without music playing but with power going to head unit to monitor voltage. The only thing I have left to try is disconnecting the main 0 awg power line to the audio system in the trunk and driving like that for a while. It _seems_ to happen after I've been driving a while. (Can nissan run more in-depth tests?) Again, the voltage fluctuations occur even when radio is muted and no music playing.

Alternator and battery tested good at autozone. I checked all my connections under the hood and they are tight and fuses look good. I don't remember if that is normal or not but of course I'm noticing it now. Turning on the head lights or A/C or the head unit (which in turn turns the amps on) will cause the dome lights to dim. Then the dome lights started flickering and the voltage fluctuating again. I took it in to Nissan and I had them put the stock alternator back in thinking it was me that screwed things up.Įverything was fine for a while. Finally one day driving home I had my radio MUTED and the voltage was jumping between 11 and 14 volts. Then I noticed the voltage started to flucuate and my subwoofer would make the lights dim and the cruise control to stutter. I turned the car off and connected the harness and everything seemed ok for while (weeks/months). I didn't realize it until I let it run a little while. I installed it myself and when I first started the car I realized I forgot to connect the wiring harness that connects to the top of the alternator. It's a direct replacement from Ohio Generators. It seemed to start when I bought a 200A high output alternator. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. My head unit has a voltage reading on it. Not Applicable on SL and SR with Premium Package. Provides navigation assistance with built-in digital compass display. Detects headlight glare at night and automatically dims, The brighter the glare, the darker the mirror becomes. I have an audio system: two 600 watt amps and one 750 watt amp. Do not let bright headlights get in your way.

I did the 'big 3' upgrade years ago: 0 awg alternator negative to ground, 0 awg alternator positive to battery, 0 awg battery to ground. My 1994 nissan altima dash lights dim and paking lights dim when i press on the brake pedal.

For more details on how to polish your new headlight bulb, see below.I took it to AutoZone and the battery (optima yellow top) and alternator (stock) tested fine. Put the bulb assembly back into the headlight housing, reinstall the trim pieces, and reconnect the battery. Slide the bulb gently into the bulb housing, then connect the wiring pigtail you disconnected and reattach it to the back of the bulb assembly.

Now, remove the new bulb from its package using gloves or a tissue. Disconnect the wires leading into the headlight and pull the bulb from the bulb housing. Next, find the headlight bracket or holder and remove the headlight and wire pigtail. You will also likely need to remove the trim separating the headlight assembly from the engine bay. Disconnect your car battery by loosening the nut holding the ground cable on the negative terminal of the battery.

Then, purchase a replacement bulb that matches the year, make, and model of your vehicle. To fix a low beam headlight, first leave your headlights on and get out of your vehicle to verify which side has the blown-out bulb.
