Could be a short, or a bad gorund. I would start checking everything out. Also, have you cleaned your battery posts recently?

If the cable cleaning does not do it (dip the cable ends in baking soda/water solution), you may have a weak alternator. I had one with just one bad diode once that worked but "flickered" at idle. Maybe take it off and have it tested at vatozone on their in-house tester?

Good luck.

If you dont have baking soda in your house, Coke will work also.
