Idle Drop With Lights On

[002doc]

Hey guys,

my car runs fine and all, its just that when I turn the headlights on the idle drops a bit, like 100 rpm, is this normal?

Cheers

can this be fixed with a higher amp alternator??

its pretty normal i think

happens when you use anything that takes a lot of power.. like the power windows for example (try holding the window switch up when the window is already up and you will see)

I don't think it should dip!? Holding the window button up dims my cabin light slightly, but i'd definately have a look at upgrading your earth wire from the battery.

There are guides on what guage you shoud use, and how to prepare the mounting surface for a good contact etc.

Yeah that's normal. It'll drop even more if you turn your high beams on too.

I'm going to test this!

Totally normal. Relax.
