About a month ago I noticed my dach lights flickering a little when I was driving, I checked all battery connections and all fuzes, nothing is loose, the flickering is getting worse now with the radio cutting off for a second now, the car however is running fine, the engine is not cutting out. Sometimes I can shut the car off and restart it and it won't act up for a while. I hope you can help me, Thanks

I would check for body ground problems (straps). If they are all good, you may need to have the body control module (BCM).

Let me know what you find.

Lights, dash, dome lights flickering. When the fan cycles on the problem goes away for awhile. Took the car to auto zone and they said the voltage regulator is malfunctioning. Tested the alternator and I could have sworn that it was reading around 11.0 until they idled it up. Then it jumped to to around 15.0. I tested alternator at home it was showing around 14.7. Could this be the alternator voltage regulator going bad or the BCM? Like I said before when the fan cycle on the flickering disappear. I have a 2006 dodge stratus sxt 2.4 litre
