All warning lights on

I have a s5 rx7 132K miles on it.

The other day the dummy lights all came on and kept of flickering as i gave it gas or let go. Now they all remain on. Is there something i am over looking? i am thinking my alt belt could be loose (touching the belt there is a lot of play) but any insight on this before i start digging or things to look out for would be helpful.

thanks you guys.

Usually a sign that the alternator is failing.

I had a 1980 RX7 that used to eat its alternator belts, announced by all idiot lights flashing.

Run the car and check voltage at the battery. Should be 13.5 volts give or take. If it's less the alternator has failed.
