Q: Lights dim go off

asked by on June 24, 2016

I own a 2007 Hyundai Azera, and my headlights and interior lights dim while I’m driving. Sometimes my whole panel lights up like everything is going to quit working. Then I loose power just for a minute, and everything is fine again. Do you have any idea what this could be? How can I fix this problem?
