New problem.........
Today I was cruising around and some of my warning lamps (oil,coolant, charging and abs) slowly began to illuminate together. When I step on the gas they would dim to nothing. At idle they would brighten to full illumination again. I checked under the hood and can hear some kind of sensor clicking. Anyone have answers for this?

just think the clicking is a symtom.
go to shop and have generator/alternator measured.
It should produce over 13.5V and LOTS of Amps(over 50 i think). You will need to remove it from car to have it measured.

Just use a volt meter with the car running, it should measure 14.5 to 14.8 volts. With the car off you should read 12.5 to 12.8 on the battery terminals. To fully test the battery and charging system, you do need the tester hooked up.
