Hi all. A little red light popped on tonight.It has a "G" with a circle around it. My first thought was gas, but I filled it up and it didn't go away. The tach and fuel guage go to 0 when I hit the brakes. I think my alternator is dying. Yes? No? Please help!
If it is my alt., can I get one at Autozone?

BTW, my right tail light and both turn signals also stopped working. They were working 2 nights ago (I checked) and the truns were working when I left work 5 minutes before I saw the light.....

So can I get an alt locally or....?

Hm. I'm dimly remember a problem with one particular fuse causing this problem. I'll bet Dave D would know this off the top of his head.
