Re: I got my Christmas lights…

Hmmmm... Mine is doing something a little different. At stop lights after I have been on the road for a while the "Christmas Lights" appear and disappear. I also notice the rpms slightly drop when the “Christmas Lights” come on. Its almost rhythmic. Also ive noticed when I first crank my car that there is a squeaking from under the hood then it gets quiet. I think something odd is happening with my alternator.

And yes, I pray allot as well.

Tighten the alternator belt, and see how it is then.

True Harvey!
Everything is "out of kilter" if the fundamental things are not correct! Here's hoping (and praying) it was that easy a fix. My opinion would be unlikely because of the history of the beast

I check the adjustment and condition of my belts at the very least once a month. Also keep them relative new.

But I have been accused of "overkill"

Happy new year everyone!!

Keith

Yep, thats it. My belt is bad too. Small cracks in it. I've been so busy with Christmas and work projects that I haven't really stuck my head under the hood in a while. Goodness...

Thanks for the post...

Yes I truly am and in so many ways! Glad you started this post about your lights. I had been noticing mine for a while but hadn't really done anything about it. Now I have an answer.

Take care and God bless.
