Why my car is turning my battery and the air backs lights on and the headlight goes dim?

Your battery is worn out or has faulty cells. Have it load tested. If you look after a battery it will last about 4 years.

1998 tacoma, when I turn the headlights on the radio display goes off, also no lights for the climate control knobs

I would say if this is a used truck, the prior owner may have wired the radio wrong. Remove radio and check your dimmer wire. Make sure the dimmer wire is correctly wired to your headlights. While you are back there check all the wiring to your radio and climate control. The climate knobs also have little light bulbs. Make sure they are not burned out.

2007 Yukon XL, 1500 SLT, 4WD, headlights randomly go bright to dim and back very quickly

Yes this can be a normal condition caused by load being applied to the headlights and that lowers the voltage, the lites dim, then the load is removed and the lights brighten. Typical loads that cause this are AC climate control related. Have the Alternator load tested to confirm there is no problem in the charging system. Also have the battery tested, a battery that is starting to fail can cause this problem as well, a failing battery takes a huge amount of charging system power to keep it up, so that makes the lighting see higher spikes in voltage

When I turn on the headlights, the radio lighting goes out. A fuse maybe?

just to clarify, the radio lighting goes OUT? or it DIMS...? the lighting is supposed to dim when you turn the lights on (brighter at daytime) and should be controllable by the dimmer switch - the same one that controls the brightness of your dashboard. if the lighting is actually going out, i would suspect a problem the dimmer switch itself. good luck!

Radio lights 94 lexus ls400

It has something to do with the climate control. You have to have a technician repair it. ebay has many of those repair guys for mad cheap. I did my L of of ebay. They have ways of removing dash and climate control off of google. Just engine search it. Look for people that fix Dash and Climate control. If that does not work then it is a LD problem and probably need a new Radio.

95 olds aurora, every time i turn on my lights the radio, climate control, and info. center lights goes off and they comes back on when i turn the lights off. whats going?

might sound a little simple, but is the dimmer switch turned all the way down? by design, those lights are all supposed to dim when the lights are turned on and the brightness is adjustable with the dimmer switch. if they are all going off and cannot be adjusted with the dimmer, i would suspect the dimmer switch is defected.

04 pontiac sunfire battery light and panel lights dim

sounds like your alternator. if you have a multimeter then turn on your car and turn your headlights on/ac and heater fan on high/wipers on and blinkers on. once they are all on hook the meter to the battery and if it reads less then 14 volts then the alt is bad. or you can just take it to a shop and have it tested.

Hi, what you are currently witnessing is a wiring problem which maybe as a result of some melted wires coming in touch with one another therefore bridging and performing the functions of one another just like the a/c coming up whenever you put on the headlight.

You need to, if electrically inclined check the wires to see where the bridge of contact is occurring or where you have bad wire to replace them or take it to the Auto shop where it can be fixed...
