The dash lighting goes dim, the fan slows, and then they both jump right back to life. This is RPM independent, and can happen on acceleration or deceleration. My battery is a smidge weak, but still starts the car OK. Could that be the issue? 98 Silver Frost SVT 97 BMW 540I Sport, six speed "Blue is for sky, black is for soil, and white is for simplicity, purity and hope for the future" "A coveted car should never stunt your life, but should make it more rich and interesting."
