I have a 1999 Suburban 350. Recently all the lights have started to "pulsate" .?

The pulsating never changes no matter what the RPMs are. New altenator last year.

Any ideas????

    does the speed of the pulsation change

    is it quick or bright for a few seconds then dim for a few

    my first thing to try would be the alternator/regulator

    i did have a ford that was charging at about 18volts and the regulator was switching on and off so the lights would go bright to dim every few seconds. we burnt out 2 regulators before we found the problem in the alternator

    it's a bad voltage regulator in the alternator. probably have to change out the entire alternator. most newer units are not serviceable. I buy the lifetime warranty units from autozone and keep a couple of wrenches in the glove box.

    How about at night? Do the lights change brightness as a function of rev's. You may have a bad voltage regulator.
