Not sure if this is the right place, sorry if it isnt.

Recently did a swap. Nothing major ka24de to rebuilt ka24de. Now I'm having electrical issues and really out of ideas here.

It started a few days after when my headlights wouldn't turn on, checked my fuse and connections it was fine. Ended up cleaning my combo switch and it started working again.

But now it's giving more issues. While I'm driving my headlights will flicker on and off and sometimes the driver side will completely die. Then when I apply the brakes the lights will flicker for a quick second and my radio sometimes will turn off and then back on. Car doesn't ever completely die

I did have a bad battery and alternator but I replaced them and still having the issue. Replaced the combo switch last night, no dice. Any suggestions where to look next?


EDIT: Fixed it. Positive connector for the battery was bad.

Sounds like you have a bad ground somewhere.

FIXED IT! finally. Bad Positive connector on the battery. The cable was loose and damaged a little. just replaced the ends and now we good!
