All Idiot Lights On When...

when i go start my car all the idiot light go on until it starts. then yesterday after i started my car all the idiots light stayed on. when i hit my brakes all the idiot light would flash at the same time. and then one time they stayed off until i put my headlights on, and then all the idiot lights stayed on again. i drove it it home for like 10 mins and the whole time they stayed on. does anyone have an idea what the hell is goin on with my car?

I am no expert, had same problem and I had to replace the alternator. It lasted awhile because the car had a optima battery. Bottom line check your alternator.
