spg cuts out, headlights usteady beam Posted by inca99 [Email] ![]() ![]() |
here are my symptoms...
radio cuts out (intermittently turns off) - seems to happen mostly when idling down at a stop, braking or going around corners - but not all the time. turns itself back on right away.
headlights seem to pulsate with brightness, usually at higher rpms.
battery seems weak - at times barely restart.
dash lights dim (or, dimmer than the normal unbright dash lighting)
yesterday it cut out at speed several times, almost like a brief loss of ignition, then continued running.
also just started hearing what sounds like a squealing, loose belt sound (only when cold starting), but after checking today all belts looked tight.
wondering what else i should look at to trouble shoot.
thanks,
