Sometimes the lights flicker without the a/c compressor engaged but not as bad. I know nothing about the car other than it drives and runs fine. I am suspecting the alternator/regulator but I don't want to crawl under it and do all the work it entails to replace. Guess I am just old and lazy. It is at a friendly dealer and they have already drastically reduced the price for me. Might have them diagnose and see if we can work out a deal from there. Any suggestions welcome. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds (This post was edited by way2old on Sep 26, 2009, 6:33 PM) re-tired Veteran / Moderator Sep 29, 2009, 2:05 PM Post #2 of 4 (1875 views) Re: 1998 Contour Sign In Boy ,I feel like the student telling the teacher how to teach.
