Flickering lights?!?!?!?!?!

[Dutch Master]

LEt me start off by saying the wire connector that goes into the left headlight looks like the connection shorted out and maybe one of the wires is frayed. The light goes off and on sometimes, more so it stays off.

Now heres the question.

When Im idling or come to a stop, all the lights in the car seem to dim and or flicker. The dashboard lights flicker too. Is the bad connection to the light the reason for this to happen? Or is it a battery or Alt problem?

Any help appreciated!

I had a similar problem. A new battery fixed everything.

You think a new battery??......I guess since its a 2000 the previous owner didnt change the battery...What is the stock battery they put in Solaras...Gen1??????


I'll try it.......its wierd its like the lights ar about to die or something....

Man my car still does this. I haven't been able to figure it out in the 5 years i've owned it....

sorry to revive an old thread. Maybe someone has the same problem?
