As of about 11:00 this morning, the warning lights no longer flash. Here is what I did to solve it. I am not going to place any judgement on what actually cured it.

I went over to BLKSVX92's place to help him with his dead car. We diagnosed that it is likely the alternator gone bad. To test my theory, I took the alternator out of my car and placed it in his and his car started charging. I then put the alternator back in my car and we drove to get him a new alternator and I noticed right away that the lights were not on anymore.

In detail, here is what I did.
1. Remove negative battery cable from battery 10mm.
2. Remove black plastic belt shield 10mm.
3. loosen alternator belt pulley nut 12mm and loosen belt adjuster 12mm.
4. Remove alternator belt.
5. Remove positive terminal on alternator 10mm.
6. Unplug alternator connector.
7. Remove alternator harness hold down bolt 10mm.
8. Remove two alternator bolts 12mm.
9. Push harness up and back to allow for removal of alternator.
10. Remove alternator.

Install is exact opposite.

I do not know what solved the lights issue, if it was disconnecting the battery or the movement of that harness. When the alternator power cord was removed, it may have hit the metal alternator bracket which would do the same thing as touching the negative cable to the positive cable and discharging the car and possibly the computer.

All I know is that it is solved!!!

This turned out to be a great day (for me anyway, I'm not the one who has to drop $200 for a new alternator).
