I have ford ka 1997 1.3i 44kw and one big problem with electricity.
When its rain and cross puddle of water (front right wheel only) my headlights, and all other lights including air fan go dim, and after a half kilometer everything go back to normal till next puddle.
The same problem happens when i hit throttle much higher when i pass another car and i need higher speed and speed increasing is faster.
Can someone tell me what can be the problem or how to diagnose.
Thanks

the altinator is on the side you mentioned and it maybe that thats not working properly due to bad wireing or the aux belt slipping when it gets wet perhaps. get both looked at

asap as the weather is going to get worse before it gets better.

get the altinator checked first then go from there.

most garages should do a free check.

dont buy new if you have to replace get one from a breakers yard
