Re: Headlights blinking(dimming). 850 1996

I'm getting the same thing with my headlights, also I can hear the fan slowing down when the lights dim. I had the alternator replaced as well as the serpentine and timing belts, but that didn't help. I'm also seeing the Check Engine light -- the code indicates a bad air pump. It was suggested that maybe the faulty air pump was creating an excessive voltage draw, which caused the lights to dim.

Good luck, let us know what you find out.
