catdaddy300 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 ok if my windows are rolled up and i try and roll up both my front windows every light in my truck will dim even my headlights, its done this for a while but never bothered me. just curious if i need to hook a second battery/ capacitor for my apparently badass switches?

1skss Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 My trucks does the same thing too. I'm wondering if I do a second battery or get a bigger alternator will solve this problem. It also dims all my interior lights on a cold start at idle,any ideas guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 mine does this too, I have the big three upgrade on my alternator wires. Any electric motor you try to run and it is not able to spin b/c the windows are up is going to be a draw. these trucks did not have the biggest alternator, the escalades had bigger alternators and dual batteries. both of those parts can be added to the SSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankg42 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) mine does this too, I have the big three upgrade on my alternator wires.

Those must be some powerful window motors! Edit: I also have an Optima Yellow Top battery. Edit #2: I misread the first post. You're saying the windows are already up when you do this. I was referring to rolling both of them up together. Even that dims the lights a bit.

2001silverado364 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Every vehicle I've ever rode in does it, except a Mercedes, they somehow sense when the window is up and disable the up part of the switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1BAD2K Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yeah it gonna do it when they are already up. Do the alternator in the newer ones like mine and it might help. It is the DR44G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catdaddy300 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 yeah i was wondering if they like switched my switches/motors with like a industrial cranes or something...... yeah i only really notice the big draw of power when the windows are up and i press up once again. well i am glad to know i am not the only one out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Just wondering why you would try to roll them up when they are already up? I'm confused Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catdaddy300 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 so when i roll up the windows i tap on them one last time to make sure they are up, we all know the driver side window is faster than the passenger side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
