2 days ago I seen my battery indicator light flash at me when shifting gears all the way up to 3rd gear. It has flashed at me that way 2-3 different times. This morning on my way to work it flashed then stayed on, I left work started my car and now my battery light & SRS light stay on all the time. Any ideas on where to start would be helpful, thanks!

The first thing I would do is have the battery and alternator tested.

Most likely the alternator has failed due to worn carbon brushes.
