Headlight flickers when indicators used

[mattman]

Nup nothing like that.

It's not a lack of power thing, probably some bad wiring or some such in the stalk.

It's just when you turn on the indicators the headlights dim for a moment, they are fine while the indicators are actually flashing.

Try running a cable from your headlight earth to the chassis. It may stop it.

Headlights flickering with the indicators turning off is a common problem. Replace the indicator stalk. I had the same issue. Replacement stalk fixed it.

yeah, what I ment by above post is that I wonder if they have redesigned the stalk so it won't fark up, but I suppose that wouldn't be in Holdens interest.

 

[mattman]

Doubt it.

Probably wasn't evident until well after the VS was stopped... no point releasing new parts for old models? Dunno.

 

[VLishes]

They would probably be making those parts still, not obsolete yet, I just thought they would fix the problem, like a series 2 stalk hahaha.

i have same prob. but not worth changing stalk over.
waste money for nothing.
