This morning my battery and exhaust lights were flashing but then went off. But now they are both on and won't go off. Is it still safe to drive? What could the problem be?? Thanks

Hi Julz117,

The alrternator carbon brushes are running out and soon the battery will be drained and you would be stuck somewhere

You need to replace the alternator carbons or alternator assy to resolve the problem.
