Exclamation ALL warning lights come on while driving!!!!

I was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden ALL the warning lights turn on, even the shift light and the gas pedal gives for a split sec. Then a couple of seconds later they turn off. A min later they turn back on and stay on for the rest of my drive home ~ 4 miles. The car idled fine so I turned it off......then started it again and they stayed on....

anyone know whats up?

thanks

Drew

That happened to me when my alternator belt broke. My car ran for about a week, then the battery started going out and had to put a new belt on. LOL

uh oh...

double alt pulley usually means that you've removed your air pump...

..which means that ONLY the alternator belt is turning the water pump...

I hope you didn't drive it tooooo long without a turning water pump.. 4 miles sounds like a lot.. Did you see the temp go up?

I had the same thing happen to me... i made it maybe 1/8 mile before I noticed... temp was already 3/4 of the way up, and it was pissing coolant... not nice.. very, very close to overheating.
