Hi, Recently I noticed an electrical phenomenon in my c900: a correlation between engine speed and electrical output. For example, the headlights dimming when the AC is switched on. Also, the cabin heating/cooling fan running more slowly when the engine is at idle, and speeding up when engine is revved. The car always starts with no problem, and the battery reads slightly over 12v at rest. Could this indicate an impending alternator problem, or is it pretty much normal? Thanks, John 1992 900s n/a
