Battery light came on yesterday, battery a month old. Got car home. cut it off, started back up and no light. Turned on everythign possible thinking it was probably alternator. No problems. Today, car died on side of road. Prior to that every indicator light on the dash came on. Still figured alternator. Battery was fully charged. Alternator tested fine. Could it be computer? Wiring problem? Fuse? Battery connections fine.

Welcome to the forum, Is the vehicle running at the moment? Is this an intermittent issue? Are there any trouble codes? How long since a tune-up? When the vehicle stalls, if it immediately starts back up, it makes it hard to track anything. Any testing that is done, has to be done, when the problem is ongoing.
