G50: Electrical drain

[Q_SHIP]

I have a little issue. At night I'll be driving down the highway with the cruise set. I'll hit my brights, everything goes dim for a split senond and my cruise shuts off. It's like it's such a drain for that second it kicks it out.

Also, when I hit my brakes, the lights flicker and when my blinker is on it does this as well.

Battery? Alternator? Any ideas?

It still starts fine everyday in sub zero weather.

My guess is alternator.

I don't know how G50 got thrown into my thread. I have a Y33.

Anyways, I got to work today and went to put my window up. when the window hit the top, the car died.

IMO, it's still alt. When mine died, it was sort of all at once. It got weaker, and was driving, and then it just died. Wouldn't turn over, power was low, etc.

Sounds like it may have allowed the battery to run completely down - which means that a new battery may also be in your immediate future...

Happy Holidays!
