T-Belt, Alternator, Fuel Filter, A/T Transmission lights came on, whats the issue?

[ardnez]

I had reset the T-Belt light before doing the timing belt and once i buttoned everything up after driving for about 5 miles, all these lights appeared, hit the reset button for the T-Belt once again and shut off car and lights went away, drove another 2 miles and lights havent appeared but what was the issue?

Usually an alternator issue causes all lights to come on. If it’s externally regulated could be that voltage regulator as well.
Mine did that with all lights more frequently then finally the VR failed. Replaced and all well.

I read that these could be alternator symptoms but it seems to be charging batteries , so I guess I’ll go ahead and purchase Voltage Regulator as a precaution just as a first step? A lot cheaper too.

Bad body grounds could also be a root cause. Check all your body grounds and clean them up good. I run a tap through them as well.

But my money is on the alternator / voltage regulator.

So y’all were right, alternator failed. Found this while removing it. What could have cause it to fry from the connection this way? Bad regulator? Dont want to install the new one and have this happen to it as well

I think sometimes sh@t happens and electrical things crap out. Maybe something was loose and caused a short out.
