Lights dimming on my S70 (Part II) help... S70

posted by  someone claiming to be x on  Wed Mar 6 13:58 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Just went through the post that was up about a week ago that Mike H. started about his C70 and the dimming lights problem... I too have a similar problem, but i fear it is much worse.

Using any electric device in the car when the headlights are on cause dimming. Both on the outer lights + the interior ones. Yes, i do have 2 10' subs and a large amp... But it will do the sam,e even when the system is off - Is this normal? Probably the most noticable is raising or lowering the windows... I can say easily say 20%-30% of the lights all around are dimmed down. Power Windows, Sun Roof, locking/unlocking doors, adjusting seats, the list goes on...

What can it be? do i need a larger cap? The battery is approaching 2 years old now. Oddly enough, when the bass is set high and bumping hard, not nearly as much power is drained then that from the windows, adjusting seats, etc. VERY ANNOYING. Help - Thanks
