So i jump in my car ready to leave out to work .. put the key in the igniton turn the key car fires up just fine... but i notice that my lights are off but the switch is in the on position and the interior lights are really dim... so i'm like wtf ... so i rev the engine cause i notice the rpm's are at 0 .. then my window doesn't roll down... great...
so i turn the lights off then back on ... they turn on fine... then but the windows still don't roll down .. great .. its going to be a hot drive to work ... but after i put the car in 1st the rpm's jump up the interior lights brighten up and the window rolls down by its self.... weird... -------------------- |

hey mac that might be you alternator or just the fuse for the beast. i would take a voltmeter and test it it should be charging the battery at idle at abouit 14.4volts any less it is on its way out. but it shouldn't be that bad your alternator is right there. well best of luck. oh yeah the alternator controlls all body controlls windows guages stereo light brightness. the headlights are on a completely different circuit same with the motor.
