While driving down the road my alternator light comes on. It stays on 95% of the time. Periodically the brake light andairbag liget comes on and the lights get brighter and the A/C either stops cooling or if it keeps cooling the fan blows faster. It stays on for a while then just goes off. The lights go out on their own without hitting a bump or anything. The alternator is less than 6 months old. I had the alternator checked and I also pulled the positive battery cable off while the alternator light was omni and engine keeps running. Any suggestions?

This may be a bad belt recommended replacement for belt and tensioner is 60,000 miles. Also clean battery terminal ends and check condition of battery including load test. The battery may be sulfating which causes overcharging and stuff like you are have happening. Most places check for free
