I've been having an intermitent weird electrical problem in my 760. Every once in a while, sometimes twice a week sometimes not for months. All my dash warning lights come on kinda half illuminated. As well as the button for the ac which glows blue will flash. If I turn off my lights the dash lights get dimmer but still there faintly.
I first thought alternator and tested right away but charging at 14.2 at idle. Battery with Car off was over 13 volts.
And unsure if this relates but sometimes when I flick my windshield wiper on the radio cuts out for a split second?
Thinking maybe over charging from the alternator possibly?

Without thinking too hard I would suggest you have a bad ground somewhere...

I checked connections at the battery, as well as to and from the alternator all seemed good. Any major grounds to check?

This covers it pretty well for a 7/9 series car. https://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/ ... sisGrounds
