Dash lights

I had an experience yesterday while driving where the dash lights came on. Not all of them. Sorry I can't remember exactly which ones. About four of them. They stayed on for about ten seconds or so and then went away. No change in the performance of the car. About a year ago I had all the wiring around the alternator etc... replaced and haven't had a problem. I took it to advance auto yesterday and they hooked up a device to check all systems. Everything checked out good from starter, battery and charging system. The only other time I had lights come on like this the alternator was on the way out. I drove it today with no issues. Thanks for any feedback if any.

Mike

Re: Dash lights

it does sound like the alternator is going out. you can have odd symptoms when they start to go. could also be as simple as a loose ground or corroded battery terminal. the electronic testers used by auto parts stores are very unreliable so i wouldn't really put any weight into what they say.
