Resolved Dash lights are on, Alternator dead?

[housegsx]

I was headed to a picnic earlier and the car was running while I'll loaded up the hatch. When I hopped back in the battery, brake, and, AT Temp lights were all on. Pretty sure this is a sign of a dead alternator, but I wanted to check here first.

I haven't really checked anything other than revving the car with the headlights on. They aren't getting brighter when revving.

It's dead, but you can confirm it with a multimeter.

FYI.

It was definitely the alternator. The problem actually went away for a couple days, but then it came back. I drove home, turned on the headlights, stereo, a/c, defroster etc and the car lost power in about 15 minutes. I replaced the alternator and it's been good since.

Sorry to bump an old thread.

But my dash light are on and the alternator is good.
Anyone have a reason to why this must be.

My car was shorted out idk how but it happened when i was getting towed with a strap,

My dad tugged my car and all of a sudden my battery was dead and got some blown fuses.

Now the battery is bad for the oddest reason.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
