We replaced the alternator because it was going bad according to autozone. My car would not hold power. Now it seems to run fine but when driving well once at a stop such as a stop light, the lights seem to dim in and out. While driving nothing appears wrong. Is there a short somewhere?

Are you able to send that to my email so that I am able to see it clearer? I figured it had to be a wiring or fuse issue but I'm no expert. LOL. So should I just check all the connections from the alternator since it was not doing this before I replaced the new alternator.
