why does my dash blink?

[panda24619]

i was driving with my girlfriend tonight, radio was on low, sub was harding playing. i think the volume was at 3. my dash would blink randomly. i couldnt take a video cause it looked like crap. why would it just blink randomly? it did it about every 4-5 secs. really annoying driving home staring at the gas gauge hoping not to run out. haha $118 today! 27 gals.

A surge from some where? Maybe a lose fuse?

could be, also its its all my lights, sorry, not just dash. like my climate control blinks and window switches. sorry, its also not a "blink" more like a quick dim. it doesnt go blank.

id bet you have an issue with the stinger thingy you installed id check the power line on that and make sure it didnt rub bare on the chassis somewhere

its not. i heat shrinked all the wires to the connectors. so idk. ill see if it does it tonight. if it does ill unplug the voltage meter and see if that stops it.

turns out my volt meter is hooked up correcctly and how i want it. i unplugged my deck from it turned the key and it still lit up. so still dont know why the dash blinks, but who knows. hope it doesnt bug me too much on this night trip to the desert!

check battery terminals. on my old 96 ranger it did that. and all i had to do was clean the terminals. looked like a science experiment

RIGHT?! like what the hell. the whole desert trip my od light was flashing cause of the way it was shifting in the dirt. it was fine. nothing bad. went away after i turned her off and back on. shifted fine. it was cause it would shift when my tires would be in the air a little and then land and shift down. it was weird. but still all good.
