Answer 7

hi there somebody has already said it could be alternator which is a possibility, easy way to check is disconnect thin wire from alternator if all lights go out then is alternator, but also check your fan relay as it could be stuck on or burnt out that could cause the same problem, again take out fan relays to se if lights go off   jock
