From digest.v7.n1031 Wed Jan 28 13:20:49 1998 And now, the rest of the story......... A few days ago, I related the following problem and asked for help from the net: For the past 4 days, my '92 525i (60,000 mi.) has been exibiting some perplexing symptoms. When I'm driving, the headlamps, odometer, and clock lights have begun pulsing slightly. They don't go out altogether and no other lights/electrical appear to be effected. Most puzzling is the fact that this only happens when the engine is above idle. Otherwise, driveability is fine. Being a dedicated, and stubborn, DIYer, I don't want to throw in the towel and just start replacing parts willy nilly or bigin writing checks to my mechanic without considering the wisdom of the net. So far I've checked the battery (new PepBoys Group 48 purchased 2 weeks ago to replace aging 6-year old original) which shows 12.6 v at rest and 14.5 v under load, the drive belt, the tensioners (tightened slightly to no avail) and visually inspected the alternator for signs of loose connections. None of these things seems to be the cause.
Well, the gauntlet has been cast. Are the members of the digest ready
to call a temporary cease fire to the mine's bigger than yours
Is that a pulsing light in the sky? |
