Default Problem in Rain

This isn't the first time I've noticed this but it has been raining the last couple of days and when i hit a water puttle my power in my car seems to go down... the needle for the battery stays normal but the lights will go dim and the inside lights will go dim... and the windshield wipers will slow down.. is this normal..?

you are obviously a retard. I've never had that problem, something might be shorting out, not really sure. It's only when you hit a puddle?

The gaymaros mullet probably is blocking his view to give decent advice.

How long does this "power loss" last for? Yup you've probably got a short somewhere which might be tough to track down.

Next sunny day, try idling your car in your driveway & spray a garden hose around underneath the car,, see if you can make it happen that way & what spot did the problem show up at.

check your starter cable which is the pos+ to your car it may be loose also check for exposed wiring on the + that would also cause it, you dont want to drive around in the rain too much its only a matter of time before you fry your entire electrical harness.

[&:].... I love Chevys, but don't act like they never break or have problems just like every other car. The guy just needs some help you big asshat.

Try to slow down when you hit the puddle until you get it fixed. The water is just getting somewhere in your electrical system it's not supposed to get access to. I could be wrong, but mabey the water is getting the alternator belt wet and causing slippage for a brief time. But if that was the case i dont know why the amp meter is not moving.
