DIC Flicker
Can anyone figure this out? my DIC will flicker and most times won't work. buttons work and when I'm going up hill with my music up the volts drop to 12.6 to 12.8 and the DIC will work like its supposed to. on flat land volts are around 13.2 and dic won't work. if I rev to redline the dic will work then flicker in lower rpms then won't show anything. I'm thinking alternator and It has a brand new battery. thanks in advance

Never had this issue but with very limited electrical knowledge in the C5 electronics that are a pain, some questions. 1) Is there any electronic aftermarket stuff on the car? If no, try disconnecting the Negative Battery connection for 10 minutes. Reconnect and If that did not work clean the negative ground points in the car. If yes on the aftermarket electronics, disconnect the power sources to them and see if it helps. If not, then do the cleaning of negative ground points. Sorry, that is all I can contribute.
