What could cause over-dimming of interior at night on a 2001 Monte Carlo?
Sounds as if the alternator is going out. Have it tested if it is charging on the bench at 12 and a half and below replace
What can cause a battery not to charge on a 1999 f-150?
Do you mean charge by the vehicle running....or do you mean take a charge from a Bench charger? if its in the vehicle it could mean that either the battery/battery connection/cables, a faulty ground, or the alternator is defective. If its on a bench charger then the battery has a dead cell or is defective and needs replacing.
Why is your battery light constantly on your dashboard the battery is less than a year old we dont use the car on a daily basis does this mean my alternator is not sending te battery enough charge?
In my experience this usually does mean that the alternator is not sending the battery enough charge. Many auto parts stores will bench test your alternator for free, some can even test it while it is still on your car. I recommend getting it tested. They can also test your battery; you would be surprised how fast a battery can go bad. Sometimes you can get a battery that is just a lemon. I hope this is helpful.
Why does operating my ac drain my battery?
It could be that your alternator is no longer putting out enough charge to handle the load of the AC running. Some auto parts stores offer free bench testing of alternators and some can even test it while it is still attached to your car. I would recommend getting it tested. Also, someone may have replaced the alternator in the past with a lower amperage than is required for a vehicle with air conditioning. Hope this is helpful!

Manufacturer defect maybe... go to a reliable shop and have them bench test the alternator...if not working have them replace it... ask to see results of bench test.

You recently replaced the battery and alternator on your 96 rodeo now the battery light is on on the dash faintly why?
The voltage regulator (which is inside the alternator) on 97 rodeo's are controlled via the PCM/ECM (Power Control Module/Engine Control Module). A remanufactured alternator for the 97 Rodeo as well as the 97 Passport (Honda), usually will fhow failure while tested in car. On the bench test, however, the alternator tests normal. Aside of the normal problems to be ruled out, ie; alternator belt tension, check for loose connections within and around the alternator, try an original factory alternator. Is this problem affecting your blower motor?
