Tighten your alt. belt. I'd bet $5 you get a squeal when it's wet out and you're turning your front wheels hard.

Either the belt is too loose or your altenator or battery is no good, if the alt is new then the battery may be to blame.

you can check the battery with voltmeter (prefer digital) you should have voltage anywhere from 12.6 to 12.4 start you engine then check your battery again you should have about 2- 1 1/2 volts more . thats an easy way to find out if your alternator is good or you could have a loose ground wire somewhere in the system bout 90 % of electrical problems has to do with a bad ground thats just my 2 cents good luck

The exact same thing happened to me not even a month ago. I had replaced the alternator and battery, and my belts are almost new...and then my ebrake and battery lights came on, and then my car died. It turned out to be a bad alternator. The alternator wasn't charging the battery, so the car was trying to run just on battery power, which eventually drained. Once I exchanged the alternator and recharged the battery, everything was good again.

Yea i replaced the alt. and the lights disappeared and then they came back on after about 10 minutes! So i checked everything again! It did the same thing! So if it would be a ground wire which one would it be? Or other ground wires that could be causing it?

check the altenator fuse that is under the hood, should be a huge max 100 fuse. If not that then you should go over the altenator again.
