I have a 2002 accord coupe and when i roll down my windows at night when all my lights are on (because i can see it better at night ), when the windows are done rolling down and i am still holding down on the switch, all my lights dim down. and when i release it, my lights go back to normal. Is this common? Or is my power weak? What do you think?

 

yah it's common. a more powerful alternator might cure what ails you.

Will a more powerful alternator help my toothache?

But seriously, when you have that much stuff going on, electrically, you can expect something to have a power dip.

 

it's normal, just like the other said.

I was about to say check the alternator when i saw the title, but your car is brand new almost btw when my alternator was dying, they do the samething too

 

I recall reading a H-T post a while back regarding Delco (crap) alternators in late model US-built accords failing prematurely (&lt;40k miles). If I were you I'd check out TSB & recall info for any updates on this. Your dimming problem SHOULD'T be happening so soon.

Like...it doesn't happen on my 94 w/ 135k. Damn GM parts.

 

Delco is General Motors and yes they are a steaming pile of shiet in terms of reliablity.... it looks like they just dropped off the AC from AC Delco
