Flickering Speedometer lights.

Does any else have this problem? I noticed at night when the headlights are on the speedometer lights flicker. Is there a cure for this.

Does it do it when they are on bright, mid, and dim?

I will have to check tonight but I think it does it all the time.

I had an issue where I was noticing more motor noise coming through my aftermarket XM radio than normal - and the digital odometer and gear indicator were flickering pretty badly - I thought I was seeing an alternator going out, but turns out it was a loose ground @ my battery. Make sure your connections are clean and tight.

After checking it out I found that it does it at idle but as I give the truck gas it stops flickering. Battey and alternator OK

maybe the voltage regulator in the alternator is fluctuating? What about other interior lights - dome, or courtesy lights under the dash?

Mine does this as well. Mostly at cold idle. I notice it a little in the headlights but its very noticeable in all the dash lights. I've chosen to ignore it.

Did anyone find out anything about this? Did it end up being the ground wire. On top of my other problems I'm having this is happening as well. Right now i have been ignoring it....

Apologies for not updating.

Mine was a barely loose ground at the battery. If it's still doing it, I don't even notice it anymore.
