Electrical Issue
About a half hour ago I'm driving home and as I put on my left turn signal my radio turns off, the interior lights dim, and my ABS and air bag light are on. I kept driving and the radio would cut in and out and I noticed that if I turned off my headlights the air bag light would turn off but the ABS one stayed on. Made it home alright, but I'm not sure why this happened. I did replace the alternator about a month ago, but I don't know whether to suspect that or not because not all of my dash/tree lights came on.
When I get a bit of time I'll check the voltage...assuming the car isn't completely dead.

Re: Electrical Issue
Before totally writing off the alternator, make sure your battery connections are clean and free of corrosion. Also check the alternator main terminal for the same. Id also inspect the grounds in the engine bay. Hopefully your voltage check wont turn up an overvoltage, which is murder for the systems in our cars.
