Was driving fine all morning then the battery light came on then the ABS light, the traction control, then the airbag, then brake then red lightning bolt, then just shut off. Installed a new battery and within five minutes it did the same thing then shut off when I pulled in my driveway. I was told it is the alternator.

Hello, I am Danny.

The alternator is what keeps the battery charged at all times when all accessories are on or not. I have attached a link showing you how to replace. I have also attached a picture what it looks like. If you take it to your local auto parts store (PepBoys,O"Reillys,Autozone)they will test it for free. With car running it should be over 13.5 volts. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any other questions if needed.Thanks for using 2CarPros.
