Lights appeared for no reason?
While I was driving today three lights went on at the same time.. the abs, the battery, and the brake light. The hand brake was not pulled. Battery seems to be ok as everything still works. So would this be an electrical problem? should i reconnect the battery? blown a fuse?
Brake and battery warning lights came on

Happened to me too (8g also), brake and battery lights came on, and my car was just idling after being started from sitting for many weeks. I had to recharge the battery. After that, I checked the alternator output, and it's higher than 14 Volts !
For info, I've checked the brake oil level and the emergency parking brake switch and there OK !
Could it be the charger that blowed up the regulator in the alternator ?
And why the brake warning light came on ? Besides the oil level and emergency parking brake switch what can it be ?
Thank's
Re: Lights appeared for no reason?
The lights is comin on because the different stuff dosnt get enough electricity. Happend to me on a vacation when the alternator belt lost traction and stopped working.
Also everytime I used the turn signal the rpm needle jumped up and down :-P
