Check your battery first. Don't just measure the static voltage. Get it load tested. If ok, check your alternator.

Was the car sitting for awhile? If so 3gs when they are parked for awhile will sometimes throw those lights. Also have you ever replaced your alternator? As tghw simply grab a volt meter and just test your battery voltage with the car off, then with the car at idle, then with the car reved to 3-4k miles.

Take it back to the dealer and tell them all the lights are lit up. Have them fix it!

What does how you paid for it have to do with anything? They supposedly sold you a car that was in good working condition.

How long ago did you buy the car? If it was within the last couple weeks you may have some recourse with the dealer.

Otherwise, take it to an auto parts store who will check the alternator function for free. Checking the voltage with a meter is not a reliable indicator.

Yes of course, in FL you have a certain number of days to where u can cancel and the dealer can refund your money.

You may be out of luck with the dealer then. Good luck with the battery/alternator checks. Those are relatively inexpensive to fix.

So I checked my alternator and my battery the voltage is good but the measurements weren’t good, but starter and alternator is good. Is it the battery for the lights?
