Aight so, I had a coolant leak. It was coming from where the hard pipe that bolts to the thermostat housing under the lower intake manifold. So I had the transmission out, the upper intake plenum, the lower intake manifold & I had to re-time the motor. I also had to replace the radiator, so it was basically a block with heads on it left in the car. So that's the little history, now on to my issues! My ABS, bulb failure, hicas and battery lights stay on now when I crank my car up. They also flicker really fast and there's a clicking noise coming from somewhere behind the gauge cluster or under the driver's side of the dash that's clicking just as fast as they are flickering. The lights in the cluster mostly do it right on start up & keep doing it until I get a little speed, like maybe above 20mph. The auto climate control was turning off and back on a few times and was very random between the intervals. The clock came on once for about 10 minutes and went out and I haven't noticed it come back on since. The light that is on the left side pod that shows where the headlight switch is came on and off a few times, again very random between intervals but mainly staying off. Then last night my headlights kept cutting off & I could flick between highs and lows and the lows would cut on for a second randomly and cut right back off & I never noticed the high beams actually come on. I have HIDs in the low beams and regular bulbs in the high beams. It kinda seemed like my headlights would come back on mostly when I put the car back in neutral and slowed down somewhere around 25mph or less, but not every time. The dash stayed lit up and the gauges still worked when my headlights cut off, I have no clue about the tail lights or other running lights since I can't see them while going down the road. So I tested my battery, starter and alternator at work the other day after my car had been sitting for a while and cooled down and the alternator wasn't charging at all. I then tested my battery, starter and alternator yesterday as soon as I pulled up at work in the morning after a 20 minute ride to work and everything passed the tests with flying colors. So I'm curious as to whether my issues are from some kind of wiring issues or if its all coming from my alternator going out? Need serious help here!! Thanks!!
