[QUOTE="Doug Kaye, post: 1053493, member: 73761"] drove it out to Pumphouse on the CO river, went through some rain and the flickering began. Turned off onto dirt and hit a few good bumps, fixed it. Another bump knocked it out again. Deliberately accelerated onto some washboard and that fixed it again ;-) It went into and out of flickering for about 10min on a good tar road on the way home. Bad wire or bad connection seems the most likely to me.. going to try adding new cables, one to bypass existing connection to battery, another entirely new cable to ground from alternator mounting bolt. camping was good as always..
