Flickering Battery Light

[icanfixall]

Yesterday morning going out to breakfast I noticed my dash lights and head light flickering. Sitting a restaurant I turn off the wipers and headlights only to see the battery icon going on and off bout once a second. Rev up maybe to 1500 rpm. No change. Eat breakfast and restart engine. No flickering dash light and barley any dimming of head lights or dash lights. No battery dash light either. Get home and open hood.. Nothing missing... Burned or smoking.So I wiggled all the wires to the alternator and recheck dash..Magically no more issues. No idea what was wring but I "know" the area to get busy on... Sucks....

Check to see if the clip is broken on your ALT plug.

Sound like Early signs of Alternator problems.

X2
96 Taurus does it before the alt quits.

My dad is having the same problem. We replaced the regulator and no fix but improved voltage.

7756-3N-2G is the part number for a 3G alternator that fits our trucks with a v-belt. In case anyone is interested in upgrading.

How well does it fit?

The 7756-3N-2G fits fine on my 1990. Of course I had to change the wiring for it. Here's a wire diagram to help.
