If you're referring to your check engine light,stop driving it and get it to the dealer immediately.Are you still under warranty??

I don't know what that means!Anyway,a BLINKING ENGINE LIGHT is serious and needs attention.ALSO,Do not drive the car that way or you may damage the motor.Have it towed to a MECHANIC you trust.If that's the light you're talking about.

Possibly the ALTERNATOR then.If the battery's keep dying and the lights flicker,that might be it.Also,it could be a loose connection somewhere,bad fuse somewhere......There's a couple of possibilities.

Good luck...electrical gremlins can be fun. When did you replace the battery(s)? I'd start by having the alternator tested. What is your voltage gauge doing when the lights flicker?

I'm gonna go with bad connection or fuse as well.


I'm not sure the Alternator would make the lights blink off and on. It would more than likely make the car run a little off and act like its going to die. Is the car running fine after you have the battery hooked up? If so, I would take it in to the dealership (you will have to pay labor and parts) and have them run a test to find the problem.



FYI- Details are key for help. When asking every ones questions its key to give us all as much INFO as you can.
