As I was driving, three dash lights came on: Battery, Antilock Brake, and Parking Brake. I drove the car another 50 miles to get it home. After about one half hour of driving, the three lights began to flash off and on. Each time they came on, the engine revved up. If I turned on the lights or the heater, the flashing and the engine revving would happen more frequently.
At home, I found the battery would only charge to 9 volts, and the alternator had no output. I will replace the battery and the alternator, but I worry that the odd combination of flashing lights and the revving up may indicate other problems. The CEL never illuminated but I will take it to AutoZone for a code scan.
Does anyone have an opinion as to the reason for the triple set of flashing lights and the revving up condition. Thanks for any insights.
