Electrical problems

Lately my mothers '96 RS camaro has been acting up. While the lights are on, sometimes they flicker and seem to go dim, all of the headlights and interior lights do and this morning the car died all of a sudden. Sometimes the instrument panel will go dead then come back on a second or so afterward. Today it made some kind of clunking noise and died again. When i went out to check it the car seemed fine, i found no faulty connections. But now the dimmer switch for the lights does not work. Could it have possibly blown a fuse or something. Any help?

Check any fuses and connections, also check your alternator.

If its flickering on and off, it could be a bad ground. Just the other night I was cruising, found out I couldn't see my gear selection because the little light went out, well I accidently grounded it and poof, there went all my gauges, in the middle of the night.

Just ended up being a fuse.
