I am helping a friend here.
sc cant seem to point the cause.
car is a 2010 elegance model and had been serviced at proton since new.mileage is 105k.no mod whatsoever.

during driving,the meter backlight will flicker,so does the radio.it happen very quick.
the radio does not loose its memory so the fuse is okay.

before this,the car was shutting down when slowing down and various warning light lit up.sc trace it to a loose lighting socket.it solve the problem but the new problem surface.

any light on this problem?

No bro,
My friend told me its still happening but not as frequent.
I am suspecting a loose connector or an oxidise connector.

Very hard to trace.

Thank you for prompt answer.

i did try googling for solution and tried with few local wiring technician..   

at the shop/technician my car work simply fine..

 

A friend of mine suggested to change Oxygen sensor Cable, however didn't make sense.

Proton Persona Club members suggest me to check at  workshop in Shah Alam..

hi Gunner,,

 

Good Day.. 

The flickering issue on my car had been restored.

After Visiting  a wireman in my home town ( Bukit Mertajam -nearby Caltex Jalan Kulim)

All he did, was brush off the both battery point and the connector with metal brush to remove the oxide and rust..

 

after that  i change my metal USB Pendrive (MP3 songs) to plastic as in the below pic.

 

almost a week, i dont hv anymore flickering or dimming of lights..

 

hopefully this solve your issue as well.

 

thank you

 

Regards,

Sri Satchithananda
