When you turn on the A/C the engine RPMs drop slightly. If this causes the dash light to dim slightly then I would suspect your alternator is weak or the drive belt is slipping. Check the belt and adjust or replace as necessary. Also check the output of the alternator with the engine running at idle. You should get a reading of 13.5 to 15.5 volts on a digital volt meter.
