Hello -
I have a 2009 Ram 3500 6.7 Cummins. Recently I noticed a “flashing”, lights dim and then back to normal. This cycles on and off for between 2-20 minutes. The voltage change is noticeable in the exterior lights, dash lights, dome lights, hand held voltmeter etc. When I turn the engine off and then back on it stops. It may come back in a few minutes or hours.
I’ve had the alternator changed but that didn’t help. Then we suspected the relay for the engine heater matrix (the pre-heater for the throttle body?) but that didn’t help. While it’s been happening I’ve opened the fuse box and pulled each fuse individually and nothing changed.
I’m hoping someone here has run across this in the past.
Thanks in advance for your help!
