I've noticed a little more on the voltage gauge flux issue I mentioned awhile back... It only occurs with the parking lights or headlights on.
The gauge will flux from about 3/4 across its range (where it normally sits) down to about halfway, repeatedly for up to 20 seconds that I've noticed so far. Rhythmic, regular flux. Almost like the glowplugs are cycling... but that does not appear to be what's going on since the problem does not occur while the headlights are off.
Ideas? Sounds like headlights switch... but I don't really feel like paying Ford to do the job. Not sure how hard it'd be to do myself, and not willling to take the chance that that is the problem until I get some opinions here.
