Charge

I know I know, another dam charge question. I conclude its the Alt but i want a second opinion before I go home to fix it. I was driving down the highway and then I hit traffic so I stop. Well the charge light came on as well as my low fuel light (I had 1/2 tank). The rpm's didnt drop or anything but then my driving lights blew out and I had no lights, but I turned it back one and had running lights. So i drive off an exit to turn and the light flickered with my turn signals. Regardless I made it to school (in time for my mid term). The car started fine after I stopped it, however still no driving lights. I havent yet checked the fuse, but I wanted to know if the alternator could have done this.

thanks guys

Does your AC still come on? May have blown a belt.

Belt is possible, if not that then check the fuses cause the lights should still work even if the alt goes out. Make sure to check the special resetable fuse at the top of the fuse panel. It is a red button, puch it to make sure it is in. If the specail fuse blew your radio and windows will nto work either. It is designed to keep you from funning more power accessories than you car can handle.
This is not a joke...
