Having some electrical issues and need some help please...
Lately my Ranger has had some electrical bugs creep up and I'm not sure what's going on.
Issue #1: When I'm driving at night I can see my stock radio display back lighting flickering. I can't tell if my instrument cluster is flickering or not.
Issue #2: While driving at night when I press my brake pedal, my headlights flicker. I think the hvac and other console (?) lights flicker as well but I'm not 100% on that.
Issue #3: My driver's side power lock switch will lock but will not unlock every time. It's very fickle. It's a new switch.
The only recent changes are that I took out my Kenwood stereo. Sometime back I rewired my fog lights (original setup did not have fog lights. Bought oem fog lights and wired them up with a kit from Painless Performance) and haven't had a problem with them since the rewiring.
Are these issues related?
Any help is appreciated!
