Flickering Lights! Help Dome,Radio & Headlights

RGJ88 · 08-09-2008, 06:35 AM

OK so i have gone through all the pages in the Electrical section thinking someone must have had this problem or that it might be common but no one has the same problem as me

When my headlight switch is turned to off nothing works my radio wont turn on my dome lights wont work and some lights on the dash dont light up

now when i turn the headlight switch on my radio turns on and so do my dome lights but they stay stuck on and the only way to turn them off is to turn the headlights off or the dome overide but then my radio and dash go off

also when i do leave them on after a few minutes everything goes haywire and my lights keep flickering on and off my dome lights radio and headlights all flicker like crazy all my fuses are fine and i tried new ones this seems like a circuit or switch problem....by the way its a 2002 S10 xtreme
also sane_088@hotmail.com email if you had this problem too
thanks for any help!!!

check for a ground issue. check the ground on the battery, radio, and any other grounds. One of them may be loose or corroded.
