The LEDs showing milage, radio staion, and gear selector on the dash board blink bright and dim when I have the headlights on. This happens intermittingly and after a few miles of driving, it quits. I thought maybe the alternator was going bad because a previous car I owned did a similar thing (Olds Delta 88). I had it checked and was told that the alternator was ok. What is this car trying to tell me or is it just a short.
Thanks, Brian

I would first check your dimmer switch it may be faulty and need to be changed out. have it tested and then get back to us with the findings, or if your handy with cars, ohm test the switch yourself
