Headlights Flickering
I have a 2003 CLK55 that recently developed an issue with the interior and exterior (headlights) flickering. It is almost like the alternator isn't keeping up with the power requirements. There also seems to be a small whine (RPM sensitive) that I don't remember having prior to the issue.
In an attempt to diag the issue, I checked the battery voltage (power off) and got 12.5V and then again with the engine running and it was between 14.3 - 14.5V. It just seems like it would be something with the alternator, but with those test results, I am thinking it might be something else?
After reading another post (from 2006) on another site someone was suggesting it might be a problem with the stock CD changer?

Any thoughts?
Thanks
