Electrical system failure. A similar complaint was filed under odi id 10362111. Just as in other complaints, there will be periodic flickering of the electrical components (lights, radio, ac). My abs light and brake lights and alarm come on. The electrical arching can be heard through the speakers a series of pops. On some occasions the vehicle will not start right back up once it has been stopped. I originally noticed the problem about 8 months ago but dismissed it as a symptom of some other issue. It wasn't until the problem persisted that I realized it was unrelated to the other problem with my vehicle.
Electrical system failure. . The original complaint can be found under odi id number 10362111. That complaint described the periodic flickering of any electrical equipment that was on (lights, radio, hvac) and the intermittent abs and brake alarms that may follow. . On one occassion since filing that complaint, all of the electrical equipment turned off. While driving in the dark, the flickering of the lights started resulting in the alarms already mentioned. Then all equipment turned off - headlights, dash lights,clock, radio, and the heating system. I was able to stop the vehicle, place it in park, and it restarted. All of the systems then worked satisfactorily for the remainder of the 30-minute trip. . On occassion, when the electrical equipment starts to flicker, you can hear what sounds to be electrical arching. It is difficult to hear where the source of the noise is. To the passenger it sounds like it is on the passenger side. To the driver, the driver's side. I believe the arching is being picked up by the radio and amplified by the radio then broadcast through the speakers.
