Ive noticed of recent while driving at night, my head lights and dash lights flicker. I dont know if its a loose ground or something with the head light switch. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?


Edit: its a 97 2500
 
I just fixed my lights flickering issue last night.

My voltmeter would also jump around during the day as well.

Traced the issue to some wires coming off the battery that were rubbing on the fender by the shock tower. Every time I hit a bump they would touch the fender and draw power cause the gauge to jump and if it was night time the lights would flicker.

hmm, Ill have to check that too just to be sure. All I know is that it is annoying as hell driving at night for me and the person in front of me.
 
If you replace the switch, make sure the connnector isn't showing signs of overheating. Good idea to replace them both.
