Default Electrical issue?

Stereo and Valentine one shut off and turn back on randomly when idling. If i hit hibeams thatll cause it at times during idle.

Gauges been flickering since 6 months ago, got really "flickery lately" all during idle once again. Today was curising and noticed one of the gauges lights flicker on and off so fast i couldnt tell which one it was.

I turn the key before hitting start buttn and see...

Oil light, Engine light and Battery light stay on. Then engine light dissapears which i think is normal right?

Sounds like it could be your charging system or your battery level is low. The charging system will not charge at idle. That could be the cause of you lights flickering.

Have you made any mods to the electrical system? Amp, Modifry goodies, piggy back on the ecu, permenantly wired Valentine? Check those connections if so.

Check the ground to the battery and wouldn't hurt to clean the battery terminals.

Check the ground bolt above the hood release handle in the footwell. It grounds 7 or 8 things.
