All Dash warning lights on

When I first start my car and drive off the warning lights in the dash stay on for about 1 minute. Is this telling me my Alternator is about to go or what else may this be?

Most likely alternator... since they go off after a minute though, I would just try replacing the belts first. It could be that it is slipping when cold and you need new ones.

Could be a sticky relay... On the left side of the car, up in front of the strut assy. Theres a relay, its got a 2 pin plug and a 4 pin plug. That could be the culprit, it gets a signal from the white/blk wire from the alt, it tells the relay that its charging and to turn the lights off on the dash
