300E electrical problem

Hello All,

Just notice that when I have the door open (vehicle stopped, engine off) the overhead light gets dimmer and brighter in direct correlation with the seatbelt warning sign flashing on and off. I just replaced the battery with a 49-82 (big, new; lots of cold cranking amps), but the alternator is 200,000 miles old. Any ideas? Is this normal?

Thanks,
Gebhard
