rojo_143 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Well I know that a lot of the SSS owners have owed grand prix also and I have a quick question? I have an 06 GP V6 I just got into it and noticed that the lights were flickering(kind of like a strobe light) while the car is running/ idleing. As the RPM's increase the strobe effect got faster. Any ideas? Could be the alternator starting to go bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Sounds like the alternator has a bad voltage regulator. Is the car still under warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwest94 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Was it ever in a flood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojo_143 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 it has a lifetime drivetrain warranty but i don't think that will cover the alternator. and no it was never in a flood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzer Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Probably the alternator yea. I know my headlights were flickering on my 95 sliverado and it was the alternator. Bought the wife a grand prix and it had the alternator replaced once before we purchased it, Then after 3 years of us owning it it had to be replaced again.
