2002 Chevrolet Cavalier Repair Question
Mileage: 80,000 miles.
All the idiot lights are on, lights are dim, wipers move slow and can't put the car in gear, would that be a battery or alternator problem?

If all the lights came on, check to make sure the belt didn't break allowing the battery to die and everything to come on. If that isn't that case, if the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned to identify where the problem is coming from. Most parts stores will do it for free. However, since the lights were dim, the wipers ran slow... it sounds like an alternator problem unless you are on the East Coast and ran through a ton of water causing the belt to slip.
What about not being able to put the car in gear.
didn't receive an answer about not being able to put the car in gear problem.
I think it said there was a reply when there wasn't. Sorry
There is a park lock solenoid. If there isn't enough power through the brake light switch or the switch is bad, it won't allow you to shift from park.
poss. bad shift handle.remove it and try.
