Daihatsu Fourtrak - Lights flickering - Redhound

Any ideas on this one please; my 1996 Fourtrak starts perfectly, but if I then put the headlights straight on they sort of flicker/dim in time with a gentle clicking noise from somewhere ignition-related. This lasts a short time then stops. Should I be concerned? Thanks

It may be a flat spot on the alternator. A system voltage test would soon locate such a problem.

Also check for loose or disconnected ignition wires & ground cables.

Check battery capacity, a battery losing its ability to charge can cause light flicker problems.

Great stuff, thank you!
