Honda Accord question...

I just bought a 2008 honda accord last month and noticed when the ac is on and I'm driving at night, the headlights would flicker for like half a second every 1 or 2 mintues. I was told by the dealer it's normal. I have never driven a car that has done that before. Are they telling the truth? If not, I have my own mechanic that I trust that I can take it to.

Tough to definitively respond without seeing the flicker - is it just a slight dimming and then back to full brightness? 4-cylinder? If the slight flicker corresponds to the cycling of the compressor then yes, likely normal.

 

It's a fast flicker, but I notice it. It happens every 1-2 minutes. I'm afraid people are going to think I'm flashing them or something. Yes it's a 4 cylinder engine.

You do get an increased electrical load every time the A/C cycles due to the compressor engaging and the rad/cond fans turning on.

Honda will tell you some flickering is normal. I'd still have the battery load tested and ck the connections.

I'd also ck the grounds for the lighting system, especially if there has been a previous front end collision.

      Dan Morgan Pre-Draft press conference

      Bill Polian and Bill Lekas on Chalk Talks SiriusXM radio this morning.  Polian needs to retire (again). First he talks about Andy Dalton as our backup and then suggests trading down to get Sadiq. Clueless. At least he brought up the hole losing Ashawn Robinson caused.

      And you know this how? Stay in your lane, junior. I'm pretty sure I'm a lot older than you, am a whole lot more experienced with life, and have watched football in earnest probably longer than you've been alive. I agree, but I was talking directly about injuries. As far as the economics, I'm assuming that Moton would have to take a pay cut and would probably be compelled to if he wants to stay in Charlotte. He seems like a thoughtful and practical guy. He knows that he's getting older and realizes the nature of the business. Hell, last time there were were questions on whether he would be here the last season. Dan and Brandt were dialing up the pressure. I don't think they're going to go into any type of contractual extension discussions without having a backup plan--i.e., a person that will appear to be Moton's replacement. And, to be honest, that person may be Moton's replacement depending how things go. But, I get the impression that Moton wants to be in Charlotte (unless he's developed some undying desire to chase a championship somewhere else).

      It would be pretty fun with something like this. 3 on 3 the first 5 minutes, 2 on 2 the next 5 minutes (after a stoppage), then 1 on 1 (after a stoppage) the rest of the way. I just feel like this would be equal parts entertaining and chaos to watch
