97 Pontiac Sunfire Electrical Problem??

Started out with the ABS & Parking Break Indicator Light Staying on. Then all Indicators lights started lighting up like a Christmas Tree! Power locks seem to fail here and there, DRL flicker on and off, Temperature gage and RPM Gage flicker up and down. Checked all fuses, connections to and from battery and ABS module....all seems fine. Suspecting the alternator but the engine runs fine, doesn't stall out and starts without a problem. What a mess........any advise??

Thanks

Obviously if you suspect an alt prob, you should test it, but also clean all body/chassis ground connections. That's typically a Ford problem, not GM, but I've never seen your car...maybe it was in a flood or accident. GW

Go with what Geoff said. Get the alternator tested, and clean up the grounds. There was a ground connection under the plastic floor piece (under the driver's side door) on my '96 Bonneville that was all corroded. It caused havoc with the electronics of the car. I cleaned it up and the car went back to normal.
