electrical systems....sucking :(

[cgalpha08]

So i have noticed that everytime i hit the window up or down button, the tail lights, head lights and interior button lights all dim. Is this a normal thing, or do i have an electrical issue of some kind that i need to get fixed?
I dont have any accessories that are draining electrical juice, i have 6 off road lights, but those are almost always off. Any info will help thanks!

Does it do it with all windows or just 1 ?

I have the same issue, have replaced the battery and that fixed it for a while but its back now and if I roll up or down windows or have the dome lights on after the key is off the next time I try to start it, its dead.

ok so it does it with any individual window is lowered or raised, next question does it do it with any switch or just the drivers switches?

Have either of you upgraded your battery terminals? Or checked for a loose connection? Maybe your Alt is on it's way out... Any other weird electrical stuff?

I haven't upgraded the terminals but have checked them and for loose connections. I have noticed that my scanguageII reads high voltage, like around 14.9. With the new battery at first it was like 12.9 volts. Alt checks ok. No codes ever.

And what battery did you put in?

 

[cgalpha08]

Ill check my terminals in a bit but i only have 26700 miles on my car, i didnt think the alternator could already be going.

Well it was in a pinch, so I just picked up one from our only local parts store , can't remember the name .... but I should have got a optima!

My headlights sometimes dim a little when I hit the brakes...

Yeah mine dim from time to time but nothing dramatic. I just chalked it up to being normal.
