Me three you should see my other cars

But I live in a mostly rural area with LOTS of cops'

So in every car I need GPS,Radar, And a stereo will I'm cruising for 25mins (trying to do the speed limit).

Does anybody else lights and stuff dimm? This is why I'm doing what I'm doing I don't have anything but my GPS and if hit the switch to roll my windows down it all the lighting dims???

I also got my HID's and projectors on toady and I have a flicker GOD-D-MIT Hopefully once I get the power systems upgrading all my Lil low voltage issues will be resolved. SIGH

That sounds very familiar! LOL

I've had the lights dim a bit on just about every vehicle I've driven when I hit the window switches. I don't know why they draw that much power, but jeez.

Lets put it this way Window defroster + windows down = Windows not working or very slow.

I think I might need a new alt or battery now I will have auto zone test it.

the big three is

The main power from the ALT.

The main ground to the frame

The main ground to the block.

Also I was missing some ground cables and some where cut

I just saw something about this elsewhere and re-read everything. I don't know what I was thinking. Yes, the power wire from the alternator does get upgraded. NVM. You can also add in a 150A fuse in-line from the alternator to the battery as well.
