alternator or other electrical problem? 200

"Idiot lights stay on and then flicker for the last week instead of going out once you first rev it up. "
Often a symptom of worn carbon brushes on the internal voltage regulator.

Remove the regulator from the back of the alt. and check their length (may be too short to make proper contact).
