Lights dim when turned to full lock and lean on PS pump and use windows

This has been going on for as long as I can remember. If I turn to full lock the idle drops slightly then goes back up and the headlights dim if on. Also, If I use the windows, the lights dim too and the idle dips a bit at times. Is this normal draw on the system? I don't have a custom sound system in the truck.

FWIW my Gryphon shows my Batter consistently in the 14.2V-14.6V range

Any ideas? Is this normal draw?

At idle, when you lower the windows, are you drawing down on them ?

This would be with the window all the way down, and keep pressing on the down or all the way up, pressing on the up ?
