Interior/exterior Light Flickers While Indicating

[Charles89]

For some reasons, when I'm driving at night (with my parkers & HIDs on), my parkers/HID/dash/gauages lights just flickers when I'm indicating. And my voltage meter in my R34 just jumps up and down.

Anyone know why?....

I did a test on my battery with a multimeter.

When car is off: 17.3v

When car is on: 20.8v

When my driving lights are on: 20.8

When I indicate with driving lights on: 20.0v

Not sure why the readings are so high, as I've been told the voltage should be around 12-14v. And the reading on the multimeter is different to the voltage gauage I have in the car.

Any help on this would be awesome!

gravedig, anyone know why?

my voltage gauge jumps up and down as well, in idle.......is it normal to jump (within a range) or bad that it's jumping at all?

Voltage regulator is fried , do not drive !!

your overcharging the shit out of battery and could fry things

Its normal depending on how much the jump is

It could be a sign of bad connection or dirty battery terminals

Dying battery as well
