side markers/alternator light
 
my right side markers are out and when i turn on the lights the alternator warning light comes on very dim. also my passenger side window is stuck. are any of these things related?

any tips on troubleshooting? (fuses are intact fyi)

go to clarks garage for the window.. suggested it in the other thread too.

have you checked the bulb in the side marker?

and occasionally my alternator/battery warning light will come on really dim if i have my lights on, stereo, heat/ac.... but not to any serious degree..

put the year of your car in your signature! do so by going into your user control panel....

Clean all of the major electrical connections; grounds to engine, chassis, battery. Positive cables. Check the voltage at the battery at about 2,000 rpm. Should be at or very close to 14 VDC. If not then replace the regulator/brushes in the alternator.

Window problem is most likeky the switches.

Side markers can be the fuse or the blubs or bad wiring or all of the above. Just because a fuse is in place does not mean it's intact. Early fuses corrode at the cone shaped bases.

What year car?

exactly what socal said about the fuses..
i started to diagnose a rear defogger problem (wasn't working).. first thing i checked was the fuse.. it was intact. after i got my multimeter out and ready to start the hunt, i had a funny feeling about the fuse so i pulled it and popped it back in... worked like a charm. these fuse connection can get dirty.. check 'em twice!
