Flickering radio lights
Hi, just bought a 2003 coupe. Excellent shape, low miles. Only thing I have noticed is that the radio controls backlighting and the readout have a very slight flicker.
Any ideas. Grounding problem maybe? Thanks for the help.

I had the same problem with mine. In addition, I noticed that my headlights wouldn't always pop up the first time I turned them on...took several tries before they would come on. Also noticed that my headlights would dim sometimes for a split second. I almost took my car to the dealer when it sounded like even the motor was starting to miss. I checked the battery terminals and found one of them was just barely loose enough to move by hand. I tighten it up and all of the above problems stopped immediately. Worth a try I guess...Good Luck.
