lights dimming?

could be faulty battery

 

happens to me too with a 10 month old battery. alternator?

 

bad grounding somewhere as well.......could be alot of variables? when was the last time you checked your batt and the alt?....have you checked you wires for any type of faults? check all of your grounds to make sure that they are on tight and secure properly on metal to metal contact.

 

Happens to me as well. I'm thinking either alternator or need better battery. My HIDs don't even start correctly.

 

you could try to replace the neg cable from the batt. this helped mine, but still has similar issues to yours. e.g. if the headlights are on and i hit the brakes with the blinker on the dash lights flash and the volt meter goes nuts. or any similar combo of load.

 

Sounds like bad earths and cable issues.
Check resistances from the battery to ground, alt, starter, fusebox etc, etc - there shouldn't be any

Old Opels are famous for this, the wires oxidise inside and resistances go up causing all kinds of gremlins
and eventually the ECU blows.

My voltmeter moves when I put on indicators, had it on 4 cars so it must be a JDM thing, everything
else is fine.

What I have found is the rubber caps on some engine connectors split, water gets in and rusts the contacts.
It's a pain but I had to pull everything and replace a few connectors

 

Mine too, I think it's how it should be.

 

-hmmm i wonder if our relays are gettin aged?

 

is there a difference in amps for ge and fe?

 

No, g/f's Corolla also has a 60A

I used a ST202 80A alternator the last few months, damm thing melts my LED's and the voltmeter still moved
when indicating

 

I've been using the bigger 80a alternator as well, i haven't melted an LED yet, but the voltmeter still moves when indicating as well.

 

Its not a Battery or Alternator issue- its a Grounding issue.
You will have to make some grounding kits and or Ebay for the kits.
You will need to ground both headlights Markers and Taillights, then add a ground to the dash cluster, and finally Ground the hell out of the engine lol I had to run 8 Wires from the engine to the frame.......
OUR CARS ARE BECOMING > :corsair LOLOL\

 

^^^^^ now see why doesnt anyone complain about his avatar.........i put one up and i get screamed at.....lol

 

Ive had my avatar for years! but i like yours alot! besides mafixs avatar would have petas panties in a bunch lol i love it here! :help
