hey, i've been having trouble with my SR lately, when i have the lights on they seem to dim, flicker, it sucks i've tried replacing the battery terminals and that didn't work so i'm just lookin for ideas on where to look to solve this problem..sounds like a bad ground or loose wiring but i don't know where to start

Check your wiring to see if it's crossing anywhere... reverify all grounds.
