[QUOTE="Nicolai79, post: 436209, member: 20504"] Got the ol clickety-click when I turned the key the other day. Tested the alternator. Bad. Replaced it. Turned the key. One click this time but I noticed the radio and dash cut out also. Key turn does nothing. Take the battery to test and it's bad. Replaced it. Clean the posts and the cables.Turn the key. One click. Power goes out again. Test starter. It's good. Put it back in. Turn the key. One click. Power goes out again. So I fiddle around and eventually power returns but not because of anything I did. Then I realize that, after a brief timeout, the power is returning on its own. So with power restored I hit the lights. Regular. Brights. Back to regular. Power cuts out. Only to return after a few minutes That's where I left it tonight. What the hell is going on? Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
