Electrical problem 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 100000 miles

brake and battery lights went on at the same time
the car ran okay I got to my final destination turn the car off and try to turn it on again but it did not have enough power. I try next day and started with no problem? ( But the brakes and battery lights still there).

Hi there,

You may have an alternator problem, get the charge rate checked and get a load test done on the battery as well as inspect all the terminals are clean & tight, start here.

Exactaly! Alternator was, "PUTTING OUT TOO MUCH VOLTAGE" 17.4 Volts, output! Replaced alternator, 14.2 Volt Output. NO MOR LIGHT or Problem! I hadalready done this when I read your answer but, I thought I would let people know, FOR ME, THAT WAS, The Problem!
