2000 Chevy Impala. New battery and new alternator. Every afternoon (why only in afternoon???) the radio display will blink on and off (radio stays on) and make a clicking sound. The battery light will also come on. The outside lights will flick off and on when this happens as well. It will do it a few times, stop for a few seconds or minutes and then do it again. This happens sometimes for 10 minutes, sometimes for an hour. I took it to a mechanic and he said the battery posts were bad and replaced. The problem is still happening. It is really quite annoying.

Please Help!?

Was this problem happening before the new battery was installed?

I bought the car from a friend, but I do not think it was doing this prior.

If it wasn't doing this before the work I would get the battery & alt retested. Also check all the connections around the battery area..... Almost sounds like you have a loose or corroded ground making intermitten contact.......
