    I have researched this topic all over the place without any specific answer that is why I decided to start a new thread.

    I have noticed that after driving my 360 for a while and have lights and Stereo (oem) on, the dash battery light will blink. It will stop if I turn off either one of them.
    In the morning, when it’s a cold start, the car will crank perfectly and starts normally. However if the car has not reached the 1200 warm up rpm’s and then stabilizing at +/- 950rpm the stereo backlight and dome light will flicker or lower and increase brightness.
    If I stop using my car for a few days it will crank just fine but if I park at a store and I forget to turn of the A/C before restarting it, it will feel heavy and it feels like if the battery didn’t have enough charge in it.

    At this point I’m not entirely sure what to blame. The battery or the Alternator?
    I have checked the infamous harness but it seems to look fine.
    Any Suggestions?

    By the way, I have no access to an SD2, SD3 or any diagnosis equipment within 600 miles other than a Regular ODBII Reader.

    Sounds like a faulty ground ... probably on the alternator side !
