S70 electrics problem

Post by peepo »

My 1998 S70 is having some issues which I believe have something to do with the electronics. It's been a worsening problem, most noticable last night. It was dark out and I had the headlights on. I noticed that the headlights and dash lights would dim and flickr, and when I turned the rear defroster on the headlights almost shut off completely and the SRS and TRACS sytem lights turned on. Sometimes when at stop lights the car seems to lose power and come clost to stalling. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Thanks
