    Do you're dash lights dim?

    Do your dash lights, such as the hand break, seatbelt, oil, dim or dip when your power windows reach the end of their travel?
    Mine do, and I'm not sure if that's a fault or factory?
    They do not dim or dip when I put the headlights on.

    At first I though this was related to the alternator, but it happens when the ignition is on without the motor running.

    Any thoughts?

          More then likely dimming due power draw. As the electric motor hits its the stop blocks it pull a lot of power to try and turn more. Way more the the normal draw is for moving the window up and down

            I think that's normal. Both my cars have done it since I got them. I agree with Wildfire, the motors are drawing more power than they need or can use. I wouldn't worry about it.
