<VV> Still having electrical problems / Pulsing lights

[Mark Durham]

I would suggest the alternator and regulator switch at the same time.
You may have fried one of the diodes in the alternator so the regulator
has a hard time sensing and regulating. Mark Durham

 All of the
lights in the car pulse with the engine running.  They pulse between bright and
dim at a rate of about 60-80 cycles per minute.   Driving down the road if I
load up the alternator by switching on the high beams it made it stop pulsing,
but only temporarily.  Sitting in the driveway it was pulsing and then when the
powerglide is selected into drive- it would stop pulsing, but only
temporarily.
Comes back within a few seconds.

============================================


Normally that is the Voltage regulator causing that...  The Alt.
turns constantly... and so that eliminates it!
