Warning lights stay on after start-up.
I just noticed Saturday that a few of the warning lights stay on longer than they should after start-up.
The "Steering", "battery", "Stop Light", "e-brake" and "ABS" lights stay on for around 5 to 10 minutes. Then they flicker and go out. Any ideas? Thanks

Alternator should be tested

Yes don't delay, get it tested. It may only be a normal problem, but if it is the regulator it can do damage.

Belt may be slipping.
I got scared when this happened to me due to a small coolant spill on the belt. I could see the PS pump turning slow. Cleared after the belt dried. Tapani |

I will check the belt when I get home.(I work night shift)
Also, I will have the alt. checked when the shop opens. I got the alternator from Maniac Electric Motors last year.

Also check the crank pulley. It's made in 2 halves and may be slipping.
