Electrical problem

Has anyone had their dash indicator lights on the dash blink on and off when they are driving, along with headlights dimming and heater fan increasing and decreasing??

Hmm, a good idea would be to pick up a haynes manual from pepboys and autozone. If not haynes a chiltons will work fine. It will guide you through troubleshooting for electricla systems.

But first check your battery connection and grounds. i have a feeling you may have corroded terminals. If its not that, it might be your alternator.

Sounds like your alternator is going to die, thats usually the symptom for it.
