I pulled into my parking spot at work today and suddenly many of the dashboard lights go on. These include: Steering, battery, stop lamps, brake, and ABS. The car was running fine and didn't seem to have any problems. I turned it off and started it back up again and those lights stayed on.
Any ideas? Should I "reboot" my car by unplugging the battery?

Jeff, those symptoms are usually indicative of a loose or thrown alternator belt, or an indication that your alternator is on the verge of going out. I'd go to my local Autozone (or similar) who will check the charging system for free, to see if it has to do with the charging system. ( DISCLAIMER: This is just a suggestion based on my experience. I am not a licensed technician, nor do I want to misrepresent myself as being one.
) You can try "re-booting" -- it's cheap and, if it works, a blessing.
