Default Lights - Exterior & Interior (C-5)

My exterior and running lights goes dim and brighten back up while idling. My battery and alternator checks out. Any suggestions on what the problem may be? Also, where is the fusible link located on the '97 C-5?

Thanks
Billy

I've seen this for a long time on my '99 and so far, seems to be a non-issue. Now my dimming is slight and brief only so anything other than that, then I would start looking at battery connections at the battery and solenoid.
