[cookieman18]

does anyone out there have any good idea why the lights on the pt GT flicker really bad? i have replaced the batt. and the ecu but im still having the samething happing still.

Some folks have the problem, others don't. Some have found "hypergrounding" works - you add cables from the negative battery terminal and add more ground points - to the frame, engine block, computer. I went to AdvanceAuto, and they sell battery cables in different lengths. I added one to a bolt on the engine computer case, and another to the frame by the radiator.

is the car still under warrenty ??

yeah its still under warranty but only for another half a month on it. I had the dealership put a new batt, and a new computer in it to see if it would fix it. And well im still have the same problem, but i will say my lag on the turbo went away. i will have to give the grounding wires a try.

its still covered , i would keep giving it back to them before its not covered !! go in to the dealership and say heres your car call me when its fixed !!

been there done that. they told me that there tech line people said that there is nothing that they can do for it, they also told me to just keep driving it and it should come out ok it. as far as I know if its something that is electrical it wont correct its self

Seem in at least one case it was the multifunction switch!

Use the search function and type in "mutifunction switch" - It's the control stalk that turns on your lights, signals, dims instrument panel...
Since your next question will be how to get at it:
