    A forum member had a similar issue, turned out to be a cellphone charger screwing with the illumination...don't know how.

    If i gave one of my co workers a jump would that cause something to get damaged like the voltage regulator or kill a battery cell ???

    So now i got to figure out what is it in order for me to get it fixed because the service shop only told me to switch the bulbs out and that would fix the issue which i didn't believe because if im at stop light the lights start flickering but once i start moving it goes away as if the alternator not pushing enough power to the battery when the truck is not moving
