Electrical problem
1992 Cadillac Deville V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 140000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I just had an after market alarm installed on my car a few days ago an I just noticed it tonight when I was driving an had my brights on an would turn them on an off the lights would dim/flicker an also when i hit the brakes my head lights would dim/ flicker. Also I installed a chip earlier today too an it was suppose to help give the car more horsepower an better mpg. But after I started driving it after i installed the chip when i would be stopped for about 20 secs at a stop light an try to go the car would idle really low an cut off, then i took the chip out. Could the lights be cause from the little blue lights they installed with the alarm an that is draining the battery? Anoone have any ideas?
