LED's flickering
 
Most recently, I've been having my Break, and Battery LED lights flickering and making noise. Usually, they would flicker when I washed my car, and stop once it was totall dried. But now its all the time!
:angry: Anyone have similiar annoyances with their instrument panel LEDs flickering, and possible know how to fix them.

i don't think the instrument panel has LEDs, so maybe it's a loose connection on the bulb...

you could take out the gauges and check the bulbs, but i don't know what size those are.

what's the condition of your battery and terminals?

All terminals are 100%

I'm using a red top optima. i utilized the top, and side terminals. top terminals are nickle plated, that i use for my stereo power wire and grounding the chasis/motor. side terminals are used for grounding, and all other car electronics. i looked them over, all are rust free and tight.

I believe my short problem is behind the dash somewhere.

The "car wash" reference then might point to maybe a water leak somewhere, where te water might be hitting some wires maybe, causing a short... maybe

Here's a closer look at what is going on. These lights flicker when I hit the gas. I have a small video clip if anyone cares to see that

That seems to be how it started, but now its constant. I'll be checking under the dash later today.

Normally I think that means your alternator isn't charging . My alternator belt broke one night and those two lights came on .
