I noticed my battery light coming on and off. Took it to Advanced Auto to test battery, battery is new. Tested fine. Light came on and off periodically. Today it stayed on but car always starts and runs great. This evening went to get in car after letting it warm up and noticed a electrical burning kind of smell only while heater was on. Let a friend look at it and he couldn't pinpoint what was going on. As I went to leave, the smell went away but then noticed other indicator lights coming on that weren't on before, ABS light, airbag light, then noticed clock display got dimmer. Any help much appreciated!
