Question These lights are lit on the dash:

Steering
Battery
Stop Lamp
Break

What do I need? a new alternator?

It died at a light last night when the woman was driving it. but started right back up and she made it home. She said it was light for a good 30 miles.

Thanks

Greg

Re: These lights are lit on the dash:

It went bad because you don't have your car registered.

It is pretty strait forward, but look in the How-To Docs.

The Electrical section found here following this link, will help you out. Good luck on the project.

Good to hear you got it out of the way and will have it fixed soon.
Running on a bad alternator for more than a week can cause much, much more costly issues, apparently. lol.... taken from experience lol
