All the power for the window motors goes through self-resetting CB 1, in the lower right of this photo.

It's alot easier to just say fuse so it gets less confusing for one that may be reading here and kinda new to all this and really confuse em to say check the Circuit Breakers in the TIPM/Fuse Box...lol....Plus I do have a extra Fuse, second power source for my Windows........They need a way to get power when the switch is off...Remote window control.....

OK. But saying to track down the fuses and switch them out would confuse some readers into looking for multiple regular fuses to switch out. I was trying to be more clear.

What do you mean by "Plus I do have a extra Fuse, second power source for my Windows........They need a way to get power when the switch is off...Remote window control....."

Is it something you added?

It can get faulty. But it wouldn't cause the dome light to dim when the windows are moving.

Be careful when servicing the battery. Thousands of batteries explode each year while being serviced in some way.

Use splash-proof goggles and a face shield at the minimum.
If you find the cells need water, use only distilled water.

Here is a recent Thread, some guys talking about Dimming lights etc....Actualy i just remembered my Partner had a Dead Battery on His Nissan Titan 2 weeks ago. Fairly new Battery, I took his post covers off and there is one that corrodes inside the post area where it can't be seen until it's bad...I changed the style post clamps to stop this problem....But the stuff getting between the inside clamp and the Battery post itself will cause a bad contact and Loads will be harder on Battery as time passes..

Lights dim when I roll windows...
