Well, my 04 doesn't do it, but that is because my windows are manual crank-type!

My 03 Escape did it. My 08 Honda does not. Heck, the headlights on my Escape would briefly dim when I turned on the AC, but only for a couple of seconds.

I'm pretty sure my 02 doesnt dim at all. It might a wee bit when they are both up all the way and you push both switches up, but when they actually move its fine.

Yeah it did.

Anything with a motor is going to pull a big draw on the system. Hell I think i was told it takes 5 minutes of idling to recharge the battery after starting.
