get a dvom.

check battery voltage, ign off (like 12.5v)
check battery voltage engine one (like 14v)
check a/c voltage at the battery, should be less than .5v. if your alternator isbad you will probably see in excess of 2v (output diode shorted/open)

or if your laxy, autozone free battery/charging system test.

did we see if this got resolved? I got the "Christmas Tree" Tonight. I am going to get the charging system looked at in the AM ...... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i am hot on this one!

If you got the same lights, put a new alternator in it. Buy a cheap aftermarket alternator. I think the stock alternators on the 6thgen V6 were notorious for sucking bawls. DIY FTW!
