Range Rover Ron:
Hello Guys,

My RRC has a wierd elactrical problem.
When driving at night my headlights change power, they go dim then brighten up again, that is without touching anything electrical.
At the same time my rear lights do not change.

Also if I have my radio/CD player on, it goes on and off of it's own accord, when it goes off, the radio front panel stays on/lit?
I think this is being caused by an electrical item fuctioning, like if I brake (brake lights) or if I indicate.

I'm not sure if the two things are related as a friend of mine has had terrible trouble with all sorts of electricl items on his LSE since installing a non standard Radio/CD.

Any suggestions???

Cheers,

Ron.

headlights sounds like a dicky switch kicking the dim dip relay in

Range Rover Ron:
Hi there,

Thanks for the reply and for trying to help.

The lights are not switching, the problem happens when the dip is on,
It's not changing form high to dip or dip to town lights,

Just on dip the lights seem to drop in power, only slightly but annoying.
A sort of faint flicker, if you know what I mean.

I'll double check that it is not happenning on high beam, but I think it's not.

Cheers,

Ron.

RR_Aero:
Whats the charge rate, and hows your battery?

Range Rover Ron:
Brand new battery two weeks ago.
at the same time the alternator was checked and found to be giving more power than required with every electrical item on, e.g  fan, rear screen heater, wipers, hazards, head lights, radio, the lot and still showed over feeding the amps.
So is in tip top condition.

Cheers,

 Ron.
