[V8] flickering lights, voltage regulator?

[Ed Kellock]

I just went down to the parking garage. The condition exists regardless of
whether the headlights are on. I was struggling to think of a better term
than flicker. It's more of a pulsation, barely noticeable, but not
imperceptible. If it's not dark you can still see it but sometimes you have
to kind of blur your vision and look just to the side. This was all based on
my observation of my center dome light.
 I think I'm going to go after the voltage regulator. In a rebuilt unit, it
may have been given only quick consideration and thought good. I'll see what
tests I can run on it.
 Thanks,
Ed
