Headlights Dim!!!

[fareed]

Hi. i have Chev Astro from 2 years now and I noticed the dimness in the headlight when i take the reverse gear. Its weird. Did anyone faced such a problem? If yes, then what is the reason behind it?

When such a thing happens, the problem is issued in the charging system, it may be because of bad alternator. You can use the voltmeter to check the voltage is the charging system. if the reading is lesser than 13 volts, then surely the charging system has failed and need to repair/replace it.

I faced the same problem once. I took it to the expert and he reported that the alternator is damaged and he replaced the same. You can take your car to an expert and ask him to check the wiring, the fuse and the alternator.
