Engine/electricals shuts down when using A/C

[RedRimowa]

It start with flickering of cluster display, a/c display. It shuts off when auxi fans kicks in. I already installed a brand new steering lock assembly with ignition switch as well as new battery. Restarting the engine is not a problem.theres always ample supply of electricity.

Anyone encounter this similar problem?

Check if your alternator is charging properly. You can go to autozone and they check your battery and alternator for free. If it's the alternator get a refurbished one for 150$ with lifetime warranty, replacement is fairly easy.

This would be easy to diagnose for a vehicle electrical specialist.All he needs to do is monitor Alternator voltage and current with a/c on/off.

He's in the Philippines - I doubt that Autozone has an outlet anywhere close by....
