Car has 102,000 miles. Belts haven=92t been changed yet; possible root cause. Here=92s the behavior:
Four days ago, dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree after pulling from a parking lot where the car had been idling for 10 minutes. Can=92t remember if air conditioner was on but the symptoms disappeared by themselves in short order. Can=92t remember if I turned the car on then off.
Earlier today, after driving about 15 minutes, dash lit up on a super highway; ABS, Traction Off, Battery, maybe Oil. I pulled into a station and shut it down fro 5 minutes. Air and radio had been on. Shut both off, restarted, and completed the 20 minutes remaining of my trip without incident.
On the return trip =96 without air but with radio on =96 to a station near home without incident. Upon pulling from station with radio on (no air), my ABS and Traction Off lights lit. I continued but when I attempted to switch to high beams, the engine raced. Repeated when I attempted same the second time. By the time I arrived home (5 minutes), I noticed the overhead console lights had zeroed out (all dashes) except for the temperature=85 which remained accurate.
Could sure use a clue or two here.
