Default Electrical Problem


I noticed that when my car is in the Warm up phase there is "something" cycling on and off which when it energizes causes the lights to dim for a sec. Its not the A/C compressor I have verified that. I'm wondering if any of you guys out there have noticed that on your car? Any ideas? :confused:

I also agree that I think it's a normal thing. My 98 coupe does it too and now I'm curious also.

Depending on how long it takes, it could be the thermostat opening and closing. This will put a load on the motor. Just a thought.

Is our A.I.R. pump electric? I guess I didn't notice one when I changed the belts.
