Default 2014 Captiva lights pulsing

I'm really at a loss here. My car has been at our trusted mechanic for 2 weeks now while he diagnosed. Had his buddy at the Chevy dealer help him try and sort out what the issue is.

New Battery, no codes.

The cab lights, dash lights, head lights, radio display all pulse. Like flickering. Drains the battery overnight most times, but it was left connected at the mechanic over the weekend, and when he went to turn it on, it wasn't dead. I had the body control module replaced when I bought it 4 years ago because I was having that common issue of the car shutting off while driving.

does anyone know what this issue might be? or lemon law could be of any help?this car has honestly been nothing but issue after issue since I bought it.

I would have the alternator checked as well as the wiring to the alternator. I think it's too late for the lemon law on a 2014

It’s probably the same battery cable problem causing all the electrical issues with the Captiva. There’s a Ford chip on the original Chevy battery cable. Should have been caught by a dealership but since the Captiva was originally a fleet vehicle many of them didn’t get to a dealership before they were out of warranty.
