The headlights, dash lights, and dome lights all flicker at idle and appear to increase with frequency at higher RPM. A volt meter shows voltage fluctuation from 12.8-14.2 volts. Usually the variation in voltage is less than 0.5 volts. The frequency of the cycling is roughly 5 times a second.

This problem was aggravated for me when my old battery was replaced. Before, I didn't notice the problem. The cycling flickering was almost entirely eliminated when I put the old battery back in, just barely noticeable in the interior dome lights. The voltage meter showed about 0.1 to 0.2 voltage fluctuations. Is this normal?
