Sounds like ur alternator has messed up.

Ya i think your right... I had figured it was something electrical.. i started with the battery and then went to the alternator, the belt seems super loose so i think that may be it.. im gonna replace the belt this afternoon. Hopefully this will fix it.. i hope its not the alternator itself...

It sounds like the alternator is bad itself. The reason random lights come on is because there is a short causing current where it shouldn't be spilling all through your harness.

k not the belt.. its the alternator bracket.. the lower bolt and shook it broke it loose..

it was the mount, my dad went and had the alternator tested, Alternator is fine.. The mount that holds it to the side of the block broke in half..it looks like it cracked a long time ago and has been gettin bigger .. So ive got it up with some heavy duty wire until friday, then went ahead put the belt back on and it works great.. no lights showing now.... hopefully it will hold.. thought about zip ties and ductape though...just for an extra precaution! LMAO
