Voltage loss on window switches.

Ok at stop light while in drive, I powerdown the window. No problem. If the window is down and I use the switch in the down position the voltage drops down from "A" to "O" on the normal. The fuel pump changes pitch also during the switch movement. The battery connections are tight...Is this an alternator going bad? It drops alot more when under a full load like A/C, Highbeams, and radio. The battery is 2 years old maybe. It came from Wally World. Any comments?

They all do it. Nothing to worry about unless the needle goes into the red.

H/O alternator is the "fix" if it bugs you though.
