I've replaced the headlights, foglights and tail lights as well as the housings. I've also removed the hatch for some body work and put it back on the car as correct as it was before.

Now the headlights will sometimes flicker when i'm driving and the fog lights only come on sometimes. The a/c Just recently stopped blowing out of the main vents in the front and only blows up on the dashboard. When that problem occurred, every time i turned on the a/c the voltage meter drops exceptionally and the cabin lights as well as the head lights dim down. I've replaced the battery and its cables after receiving this problem and it did not help.

Are these signs of a failing alternator, a short, or a mix of the two?

The problem with your A/C vents sounds like a vacum problem.

i would check all connectors again also i would think about going and getting the alternator checked could be going bad

o also check the connections on the dash i beleive thier was a problem with them overheating and shortin out or something like that

check all connections under dash regarding the lights for any signs of melted connectors and your a/c issue seems like a vaccum issue

my god that looks like a project and a half! I'll definitely look into it.

MJR, how would i go about solving the vacuum issue?

I'm sure this has been asked a million times as well but how do i pull the dash apart to look for the bad wires as far as the a/c goes. It really bothers me that it pulls the voltage way low on the car when i engage it

Anyone?

Where can I find the vacuum line that would cause it not to blow out the main vents only.
