Ton of warning lights just randomly came on
 

So I was driving today and just randomly all these warming lights came up in my message centre. My doors were clearly not open nor was my hatch, temperatures were fine and my oil and coolant was all fine and dandy. My battery voltage however is abnormally low. Between 6 and 12 right on the dash in between the two. I'm wondering if the low battery may have anything to do with it, cause it also turned my audio deck off then came back on from what I assume was that. Or could it also be a grounding issue? No buzzing was going off or anything either. Cause the clock also rarely comes on and when it does it will only last a little bit, basically shut the car off and come back and it doesn't come back on either. Any ideas guys?

You blew your alternator belt.

That explains low voltage and such. Thanks!

Please update us later. Too many threads like this leave one hanging.

will do! I'm going to try and check it today, but if I don't then by next week...once I get around to it with my work schedule being a real pain in the upcoming days, I'll post to see how it goes.

You make popping the hood and looking at the belt sound like a major undertaking.

It's either the belt snapped or your alternator just bit the dust.

If the belt had snapped, most likely you would have heard it, so I'd suspect the alternator itself.

Not simply checking, but while at work till later in the day and then actually going and replacing belts isn't just popping the hood and checking.

In other news, alternator belt was replaced and everything back to normal.

would this be the same issue if none of my warning lights turn on and my power steering feels weak?

couldn't tell ya, anybody else?

I wouldn't think so though...

no. have you checked the fluid?
