While driving, the lights, heaters, etc. dim for a short period of time. The power meter shows a slight drop in power for up to a minute and then it goes back to normal. Any ideas of what might cause this?

Get the charging system tested could be the alternator or battery/connection and wiring problem.

Thanks sir. I will get the charging system tested this afternoon. I checked the battery connections and they seemed fine. We JUST put a new battery in a month ago. I will have to check the voltage on the alternator. Thanks again for your input.
