Your alternator might be going out. Take it to a parts store to have it tested for free.

Well you have to define how low the voltage is. On alot of chevys the power for everything is ran right into the fuse box & the wiring is'NT always perfict, which means there is a big load coming from the same line as the Dash & your voltage gauge. Which in turn makes the voltage read lower right at the dash then it actually is at your battery.

But never the less it does't hurt to get the alternator checked & to make sure your battery terminals are in good shape as well.

Why are house lights parallel?

in parallel series if one of the light stops working also the remaining lights can workAnswerLamps will only operate at their power when they are subjected to their rated voltage. The only way of subjecting all your lamps to the same (rated) voltage, is to connect them in parallel (because the same voltage appears across each branch of a parallel circuit).The fact that the other lamps will continue to work if one lamp fails is a bonus!
