Question

Help answer this question below.

When the headlights are on in my 1992 Toyota Tercel, and I turn on the signals, radio, brake lights, they all flicker. Sometimes the radio goes off for 2 seconds. I just had the starter replaced. What's wrong?

    I forgot to mention that the starter switch below the clutch pedal sometimes does not engage, but I hear it clicking. could it be that that is what is shorting out? but there are no changes in lighting system when I fully depress clutch during shifting.

    That or you could also are a short in your ignition. I had a escort once that had a short it controled the fan headlights and radio if i noticed my car overheating i would have to wiggle the key to get it going again. I know your thinking nice car but it was $200.00 and i was 17 so yea it was a nice car. lol
