for a second i thought you were actually trying to help him.
my 99 GT does the same thing Killa
im not worried about itI think it's fairly normal. I've got a '99 and it does the same thing. I don't think Ford put particularly strong alternators on them.
One way to remedy it is to get a bigger one. I think the factory Ford alt is 130A, at least that's what I've seen as a "replacement".
Personally, I'm not worried about it too much.
The same thing can (and does) happen with big sound systems and under-rated alternators. When the booms hit, the lights brown out (speaking from experience from my youth).
So, if it really bothers you, you can probably upgrade your alternator, but they're rather salty.

Try grinding the paint off of the grounds on the core support, they are painted which equals a poor grounding surface....it helped mine some, but my driver tweeter is still having a light whistle because it is grounded poorly.
WTF??
To the OP. Electric motors can draw a lot of power when "jammed". So yeah it's normal...but try not to do it

It's the switch on the drivers side control. You may find one cheap in a junkyard but new they are a bit expensive.

It was a joke. I felt it was pretty obvious that his question was answered and mine was meant to be funny. I've seen downright offensive, and also funny, responses on here that weren't deleted. WTF??
Anywhere from 96-04 should fit. Check one of the parts sites to be sure. PM Randy Stinchcomb for the part number. He could tell you what will fit for sure.

If you see something offensive then report the post. Otherwise we try to keep tech as on topic and helpful as possible. Feel free to PM me if you feel slighted.
I wouldn't be so quick to condemn the switch. I could just as easily be a wire. No need to replace a good switch.
BTW what the hell is the edometer?
True...but the harness would be easy to inspect.
I think he meant odometer. No biggie
