Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Headlights Dimmed Down A Bit And Starter Trying To Engage Again

2001 F250 SD 4x4,V10, auto, 156K miles

Truck was idling getting ready for work. Went into the Garage to grab my coat. on the way out heard a TERRIBLE noise, and the headlights dimmed down a bit.
I heard the noise a 2nd time, it was the starter trying to reengage! I promptly shut it off and waited a few minutes, but the same thing happened!

I pulled the control wire off of the solenoid, and (still running in Park) everything seemed "OK". To see if the solenoid was bad/stuck, or if there was still voltage on the control side, I touched the connection,and with the engine still running, the solenoid re engaged!

"Something" is telling the starter to 'start'! When I shut the thing down, and pull the key, it seems normal EXCEPT I can faintly see the Battery, and ABS lights illuminated in the dash cluster. I pulled the negative Battery cable off, and that is how it sits right now. Very strange to me. The truck ran great on a 5 hour trip just this past weekend.

Looking for a legit wiring Diagram for this year of truck?

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Dome And Map LED Always Dimmed When Door Button Is On

So I recently installed interior LEDs and noticed the other night that the dome and maps are slightly lit up when the car is on, they aren't fully on but you can tell that they are slightly lit up, when I press the button obviously they turn on fully but then go back to being slightly lit after I try to turn them off.

If I switch my map button to "off" then they are pitch black, but if it's on "door" then they are ever so slightly lit up.

It doesn't bother me at all as I hardly notice it and doesn't obstruct my view, but I want to make sure that it won't cause any harm down the road.

When car is off, or map light button is set to "off" then map lights are turned off completely, if car is on or map light set to "door" then map lights are so slightly lit up as well as the dome light in the back. Not sure if bad just curious.

Golf/GTI VI :: City Lights Seems Dimmed After Installing LED Taillights

I had oem LED taillights installed to my car. Dealer coded the car to avoid error lights on dash. The problem is now the city lights under xenons look dimmed. Not as bright as before. I asked him why did it happen and he said that it's normal as it needs to balance the current flow to supply enough power to the LED taillights. I'm not satisfied with this answer though.

Saturn :: 2003 - Battery Light On And Dashboard Dimmed?

A week ago I noticed that the Truck ( 2003 Saturn Vue AWD) doesn't go up hill easily anymore, then one night when I was driving the horn started going off and on for sometimes. Also the radio turned off. This morning I have the heater on and light on I drove for about 20 mns; I stopped at the ATM machine, turned the engine off. When I restarted the car the battery light came on and the dashboard light was dimmed. I was about 5 mns from home so I made home.

I don't want to get stock on I95 during rush hour.

Passat (B6) :: HID Bulb Slightly Dimmed Projecting Purple Beam

I have a 2006 V6 4Motion and one of the HID bulbs has slightly dimmed and is projecting a light purple beam. I called my local dealership and was told this is normal and VW will not replace the bulb under warranty unless it's projecting under a certain candlepower or the unit is completely out. I plan on having the dealership check the bulb, but if it's starting to go bad, I will just replace it.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: 2002 - Loosing Power / Light Dimmed

Today I had to boost my car three times, once boosted, I was loosing power, my lights dimmed, and my rev-ometer had stopped working.

My father said it would be a connector cable, the battery was very corroded. I just had my cat-converter replaced wednesday. today is the first time i've had this issue, i've had the car for just over a month now.

I'm really hoping its not my alternator. Because that would suck.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Headlights On Audible Reminder?

Still reading through the 2014 manual so go easy. Is there a setting that provides an audible alert when the headlights are left on?

I'm not a fan of auto Headlights, especially since I read here to expect only 2-3 years from an OEM battery.

All my other cars beep at me if the lights are on when I remove the keys.

Prius (2010-12) :: 2011 - Headlights Burning Out Too Often

On my 2011 Three with standard halogen headlights, I have been experiencing headlamp burnouts at least once a year. Other than the usual precautions while swapping them (i.e., wear clean gloves and never touch the bulb with bare hands), I don't think I'm doing anything unusual.

Escort :: 95 - Starter Delay In Cold Weather / Dash Lights Dimmed

95 1.9L 5 speed. 142K Runs like a champ but over the last few colder mornings, low 40's high 30's, the starter is slow to get turning. This morning it was really slow, as I held the switch to the crank position for a good 10-15 seconds before it started. To the point that the dash lights dimmed, like a larger load was on the battery. Once it starts its fine. Later in the day it starts just like it should. Just wondering if I may have a starter about to go south on me.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: How To Adjust Headlights Slightly Higher

I installed my HID kit and it looks great. Not quite as bright as I'd like but that's not the concern. The concern is that they seem to be pointing too low. When I drive up behind another car, the cutoff point is just below the license plate. How I can adjust my headlights so they point slightly higher?

Mercury - Mariner :: ABS Light Came On / Dashboard Lights Dimmed To Black And Lost Electricity

Have a 2005 Mercury Mariner Premier, 108k miles, 3.0L engine. Was driving last week and the ABS light came on. Then slowly the dashboard lights dimmed to black and lost electricity. All this within a couple miles of driving. Limped home and tested the battery - dead. Recharged and tested the next morning - still fully charged. Put another known good battery in and drove about an hour out and on the way home same thing happened.

I suspect the alternator, but on testing, the alternator is pushing 14.3 volts on a good battery. My fear now is the tear down necessary to change the alternator if it is not actually bad. Anything else I should look for / test before I start pulling the alternator out? Any other tests of the alternator that I can do while it's still installed?

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Flickering Headlights And Interior Lights Occasionally

I recently purchased a 2011 Sonata GLS and I love it. However, I'm having a slight electrical issue.

While driving at night with the headlights on occasionally they'll dim and flicker and often cut off completely while driving or parked. The interior and dash lights will also switch off with the headlights, however the radio will still continue to play. The lights only stay off for a second and then come back on. Sometimes I can make them flicker and go off by turning on my blinker or switching between high and low beams.

I'm trying to figure out if it's a problem with the alternator, the battery, or the fuses and if this is a known issue.
