power windows dimming lights?

power windows dimming lights?

I've noticed that whenever I operate my power windows at night w/my lights on, the instrument cluster and my running lights get dimmer - has this happened to anyone else?

yeah, i have a 98, it does that. its noticeable, but its not dramatic.

Mine will dim slightly and more once the window is all the way up and has stopped. I consider it normal.

^^^^ agreed.

i regrounded the engine with a difference gauge wire and it made a difference

my 95 does that...i have a thread on it somewhere...but mines my altnator...cuz it never did it before

On my 04 the lights don't dim but if I roll down 2 windows at once they go realy slow

yeah if you figure out how to fix it, sent some info my way.

it does it on my 97. i regrounded the engine and also put a 4 guage wire from the charging post of the alternator to the positive of the battery.
it still does it...
i think it's just a high current draw, probably thin wiring.

My lights dim everytime the bass hits. If you replace your lights with LED lights you get less of this (as I have done). They draw only a tiny fraction of the power as do regular bulbs. A good grounding kit for your car may help your problem a little, but not likely.

I regrounded my engine w/my leftover 4 gauge monster cable a while back, didn't help much. thinking about getting an optima battery.

Personally it's just not that big of a deal. Honestly it's not like it's a "problem" because we all experience it. If you were the only one with that issue then I'd be worried.

the corolla isnt the only one. many cars i've seen does this. its not going to kill you so dont worry about it.
