I got all three lightn up. Don't notice any difference in driving though. No hesitation no stalling no sqealling no nothing.
What do I have the pleasure of looking forward to fixing now?!?

alternator's letting you know that it has had it. I just replaced mine yesterday. Good luck!

I figured that. Does an alternator ususaly go bad after a year? I just had one replaced last May.
How dificult is it to replace? 1-10

6-7 In my opionion.

No, it should not. Check your warranty on that POS.

if they stay on all the time then it's your ignition switch.

Does your a/c work?

Check the belt that connects your alternator and a/c compressor. Those three lights came on when my belt came off.

Na everything works fine. I just changed the belts earlier this year when I was gettin an ugly squeal from em and I ended up loosing a pulley. I had the dealer i bought the car from put the alternator on but it has since gone out of business. I looked at Motorvate it does look like a b*tch. I gotta do it though I don't have the cake to pay someone to change it. How long will I be able to drive before it completely dead?

not much longer depending on how long you drive your car. you need to get it fixed asap. its like 130$ but there is a core charge so you get money back after you take the old one back. i would give it a 5. you need basic hand tools. couple sockets and a socket wrench. takes like an hour. you could get lucky and it may just be a loose conection on your battery i would check that first and also the plug that goes into the back of your alternator

My ABS light is on and my Air Bag light is flashing. I know there's a procedure to turning off the ABS light and a flashing air bag light, but I can't remember what it is. Does anyone know the procedure or where I can find it?

You have changed a drive belt before. You can do it.
Try to remember the position of "L"-shaped hook that is part of the nut to one of the alternator bolts. If you position the hook to a wrong direction, the tensioner cannot move up and down freely in the tensioner assembly. I guess I'm the only schmuck who made this mistake, but I ended up positioning the tensioner pully a little higher and using a shorter drive belt to compensate.
