The headlight flickering on my 2001 GC would happen when driving down the 
road with the RPMs above idle, but it was most pronounced at idle.  I was 
told it was the BCM at ripoff (in hindsight) Goldstein Chrysler Jeep in 
Latham NY.  After changing the BCM (quite expensive) proved no difference 
and being told a few months later that the sway bar bu****ngs were going 
(after they were replaced 32,000 miles previous) AND being told I needed 
a new steering rack, I got rid of it and got a 2006 Caravan SXT.  Wonder 
who Goldstein is ripping off nowadays...not me!
