That is a good question. If warning lights are coming on, start by checking simple things first. Make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight, and make sure the alternator belt is tight.

Let me know what you find.

I woud suspect a bad ignition switch as the radio did cut off. There was a safety recall on the item and even those replaced can go bad as well.
