-USAThe headlights and interior lights flicker when idle and driving. I noticed the headlights flicker very rapidly (never fully dim when it occurs). The interior lights do flicker but not as frequently as the headlights. Overall, the vehicle seems to be running fine. There is no stuttering and there are no maintenance lights activating when the flickering occurs. I have had the alternator replaced two times, since owning my Element. I have experienced a failing alternator before and during its episodes the maintenance lights, radio, and interior lighting would flicker very rapidly and operating the vehicle became very difficult. The flickering that I am experiencing now are not as severe.
Any suggestions on what I can check or have checked?

Could be the alternator going out again. Remans from the big box chains are often no good so you want to get a quality unit.
Head to an auto parts store and have the entire starting system checked for free. Make sure the battery connections are clean & tight as well.
