Sent to Car Experts October 07, 2005 8:56 p.m.

2003 Saturn L300, approx. 26,000mi, after about 10mi of driving this morning on the way to work (dark outside) I noticed some of the dash lights started flickering, then a few more miles down the road, the headlights began to flicker as well. What's causing this? Low battery? fuse? bad connection? The car seems to be running fine other than this issue. Thanks

ACCEPTED Check Mark

Well it's still under warranty but it sounds like an alternator problem/condition.I can't see the amount of flickering you have but it can be normal at times from the voltage regulator fluctuating slightly.If you feel it's excessive have it checked now at the dealer before your warranty expires.
