2.7l Dodge Magnum Flickering instrument cluster and headlights???

**tonythedriver** · 04-19-2008, 09:24 PM

Can anyone help me out with a little annoying problem.

I have flickering headlights and dash lights when on the highway or when the torque converter is locked going up a hill. I have heard that it is just an update for dash cluster if i'm correct.... anyone got any ideas???

I had that problem, but mostly after signalling, and then it spread to wiper problems. had the multi-funciton switch changed, and had not had problems since.

I had that same problem with headlights and intruments too. I had mine battery replaced and new "drivers" for the car and no flicker after that. I still don't know which repair did the trick but they helped.

Yup I have that actually right now, but I have a loose ground that I am sure of.

I had something like that and the dealer had my car for five days without a result.

It actually started to work while it was there and haven't had the problem since.

Turn your stereo down!!! J/k....mine does it when its cold....check your negative battery cable.

I'm having the problem now and my mechanic said that there was a tech bulletin on this saying that the computer wasn't sending the correct voltage. He said a new computer would need to be installed (a 600 buck affair). I didn't have him do it because a) I wanted a second opinion and b)my car has over 90000 miles on it and this is something that recently started so how would the computer have changed? Any thoughts?

I had a problem like this once with my Intrepid. Seems if the brightness dial was turned all the way up, it would sometimes flicker. Just by backing it off a tick or 2, no problems. Seems others had this problem too. Not saying that is your problem, but worth a shot.

Mine seems to do the same thing when im come home from the bar. i never have more than 2 drinks, but everytime i leave the bar after a long night at work, it flickers like a beast. its like my car wants me to get in trouble!!!!!! i have the wiper problem also, that messes up all the time.

I got my PCM flashed at the dealer Friday and it is all fixed. My car was also shifting hard between 2nd and 3rd someitmes and it fixed that as well. Cost me $140.00

I just got my car from the Chrysler dealership and they said mine just needed an update. Now it works great. I had the same issues and fluctuating speedometer. Unless you have a hitting system with no Optima battery or capacitor, that would cause dimming everywhere.
