    Yep. Got it.

    Back to the original thread. Crownvic05 did your voltage come up and become more steady at idle and under full volume after upgrading the grounds?

    Didnt do that ground yet. Still waiting on parts. As per the voltage, I beleive my issue was fixed. A CVN.net told me to up my rpms at drive and park do to my steeda UD pulleys. So at park my rpm was at 800. At drive it was 600. So I upped it to 1000 at park and 850 at drive and problem resolved for now. I drove for a good hour at high volume and voltage didnt drop lower then 13.4. Im guessing that after im all done with upgrading the cables, that it should work best.

    The grounds by the passenger kick panel are crappy from the factory. After messing with mine when doing the blend door I noticed the light shimmerings went away, When I was messing with the led swaps I moved the ground wires and the shaky lights are back.

    If yo would have told us in the beginning that you had underdrives we would have told yo the same thing. Well known fact that you need to increase the idle speed by 200RPM with underdrives.

    My grand marquis seems to have the slight voltage fluctuation, but nowhere near the amount experienced in the Marauder.
