Pulsing dash lights

A bad diode in the alt can do that.

The diodes take the AC the alt makes and turns it to mostly DC.

If a diode or two are bad then more AC to the devices in the car.

Drive it to the local car parts store, they should have a alt tester that they can hook up on the car.

Cheap and easy test


I had the same problem.

I changed the alternator and it went away.

It was a bad diode in the alternator.
