I'm experiencing what seems to be definite electrical problems on my 2000 accord. My dashboard and headlights have a steady, fast paced flicker - where it doesn't necessarily cut out completely, but dims noticeably.

Performance is not affected, other areas of the dash/lighting is. **** for temperature control is no longer lit when headlights are turned on, nor is the clock in center dash.

Alternator was replaced about a year ago, and headlights are both new within the last year. Car is currently just under 140K and oil change/maintenance has always been up-to-date. Could this be a battery problem, or am I looking at something serious???

Thanks,

How about a flaky dash-brightness control? Play with that setting & see if it gets more stable.

 

mine does the same thing, but i switched the dash to indiglow light and it stopped. so im guessing the bulbs aren't the best of the best. and as for the clock, i bought the car in 06'. i was driving my buddy to his house and he says:" my mom used to have this car, and the clock light brike pretty fast. that same day mine stopped working..." sucks....
