Hey guys, i notice that everytime i press the brake pedal, the interior lights like the speedo, clock, and climate control buttons all dim. I also notice that when i press the button to roll the window up or down, if i hold it after the window has been rolled up or down all the way, the lights dim also. Is this a sign that my alternator is no longer holding a high voltage, and that i should change it soon? What do you guys think?

Check, Clean and Test the Battery, Grounds, and Alt.
