Headlights Dim When Window Switch Touched?
Does anyone else have this problem? Is this common? While at night if I have my headlights on and touch my window switches the headlights will dim the entire time I press the switches.

it happens to me every once and a while but it all depends what other accessories that you have running at the time.

Electric motors impose a much higher load on the electrical system than lights, etc.
