Same flickering with me. I'm thinking of trying the Kirkland battery. I was eying them at Costco today.

I'm thinking of picking one up and throwing it in. If it doesn't solve the problem, I know Costco will take the battery back in a heartbeat.

Picked it up this morning. It's in the garage on a Battery Tender to bring it up to full charge. I'll drop it in and test it tonight.

I remember when we had our Grand Caravan....the lights were flickering only while running too. A new battery cured it. My fingers are crossed.

Dropped the new battery in....took less than 5 minutes to get the old out and the new one in. Now for the bad news......same flickering crap. That explains why every RX300 loaner I've had does the exact same thing.

Hope I saved you from going the the same thing.
