just recently and at random, my head unit will start to flash, and sometimes its happens in the lcd display where our time and all that crap is at, and other times its the 6 disc changer unit that will flash dim to light. if i give it gas it goes solid, but then comes back after i let off. stock head unit and everything, and its the only area that the light changes. car fires up fine, but i do get the little .4-.7 knock more consistently now, sometimes up to 1.1-2, but those are more rare. it doesnt happen all the time so i dont know if its a grounding issue or if my alternator is goin bad (shouldnt be, only 33k miles on it) any ideas?
 
+1 on a bad ground. If it was the alternator, chances are you'd notice the dimming on other lights inside the cabin that brighten as you give it gas.
