Electrical Hiccups? Please help...
Ok, here we go.
The first time this happened was about 2 weeks ago. I was creeping along in traffic up an off ramp and the electrics flicker. I mean everything radio, gauges, lights, litereally everything. Gas and temp guage drop, Speedo goes to 0 Tach goes to 0, RPM's drop, AC turns off, radio goes off but in a split second they come back on. and it does this 2 or 3 times then it's fine. It feels like it wants to go into limp mode then changes it's mind. It hapens consecutively, on off on off on off, No time in between. I have yet to lose power steering when it flickers.
Yesterday, after work I'm crossing the Key bridge in traffic, the exact same thing happens but maybe 6 times, never goes into complete limp mode. I safely make it home.
This morning, GW parkway. Traffic. Same thing happens 3 times. I get to work, go down the garage ramp it flickers twice I get to my parking spot start my turn...Flicker full on Limp mode! I get into the spot turn the car off and back on and it's fine.
Has this happened to anyone else?
