my Genesis G70 lights flicker when I start the engine, is this normal?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the ignition is off.
• Wear safety gloves and goggles.

2. Battery Inspection

• Tools Required: Wrench set, multimeter, wire brush
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery first, followed by the positive terminal.
• Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion; clean them with a wire brush if necessary.
• Reconnect the terminals, ensuring they are tight.

3. Alternator Testing

• Tools Required: Multimeter
• Start the engine and measure the voltage across the battery terminals.
• If the voltage is below 13.7 volts, the alternator may be faulty.
• If needed, remove the alternator for further inspection or replacement.

4. Wiring and Fuse Inspection

• Tools Required: Multimeter, fuse puller
• Check the wiring harness for any visible damage or frayed wires.
• Inspect fuses related to the lighting system and replace any that are blown.

5. Reassembly and Testing

• Reconnect the battery terminals (positive first, then negative).
• Start the engine and observe if the flickering persists.
