I have been experiencing an electrical problem with my 99 Holden Rodeo ute.
When the vehicle is turned on and you take off the headlights, radio and blower fan dim/turn off.
A friend suggested that it may be the alternator regulator, therefore I have replaced the whole unit(inc. reg). I though that this may be the fault of the battery so I swapped it with the new battery out of my Hilux. Unfortunately the problem still occurs.
On idle if the blower is on full and you turn the lights on the fan/blower will slow down, the needles on the dash also act erratically from time to time.
The radio will turn off and the lights dim if you place it into a gear/take off.
I have been through the majority of wiring- front to back(under body, behind dash) and cannot see any breaks or shorts.
Not sure if anyone can provide any advise on this other than taking it to an auto elec.
Cheers,
Steve.
