Hey fellas.

I have been having a problem when primarily when the car is cold I get this happening (see video) My E-brake, Tail light, and Battery lights all light up. All my fluid levels are good, all lights work, and the battery charges at 14.3V. The battery has always been charged, and i have not been stranded, yet, on the side of the road.

Has anyone experienced this problem, or have any idea where i can stat checking?

Is your battery secure in place? There is a metal cross member bar with bolts that attach to the battery tray and keep the battery secure. I had something similar happen years ago. When I replaced the battery, I forgot to attach the metal cross member bar.

Battery mount is tight. Neither the battery, nor the connections are loose.

I had the exact same issue. My alternator was dying. Replacing it fixed the problem.
