HEADLIGHTS DIM WHEN PUSH WINDOW BUTTONS
 
It is not a complete dimming of headlights, but still very noticeable. Only when pushing the window up or down buttons. Any thoughts on the cause and the fix?

Also check to make sure you aren't loosing to much power through the battery terminal(In other words terminal bad)

Tech, Thanks! Another question, wouldn't that also mean battery charge is being drawn down now? Just curious because I've got a strong charge and no problem with cold starts. Knock on wood.

Yes it would mean a weaker charge.
