All electronics fade

I don't know if it's suppose to do this or not I couldn't imagine it should but when I press the clutch in or take my foot off the gas everything fades. Headlights,instrument panel, even the gas needle goes down. Any suggestions?

How you can live without a voltmeter ??I would go nuts

I would venture your pinching a wire with the clutch pedal or the linkage.

Get a multi meter and check your alternator output

Then it very well might be the engine twisting that is causing this issue.

You may be losing a ground as the engine moves .

A multimeter is your friend tells one so much needed information .
