Just to add though, it may be your PS pump. When my 3 lights came on, it wasn't too long after that my car would just straight up die. That's of course, because it couldn't run on the alternator and was strictly running off the battery. So, if the 3 lights are on and your car isn't dead within 15 minutes... it may not be that. Try pulling the cable like I was saying and see if it still runs.

He's talking about the tarmac and snow lights for the ACD... I do not have ACD in my car.... kind of a coincidence then that I did just change the PS pump out for a newer one.... mine was getting a little whine in it... and a couple of days later I started it up cold as hell at work and had major pulley squeak sound... after it warmed up it was fine.... but the next morning when I started it I had Battery and Brake light on.... and my voltage meter was sitting at 12v while the car was running...
I'm gonna try pulling the cable off in the morning and see if that does it ... but for now most signs were pointing to alternator.... Did you lift the engine at all to get it out?
Thnx
Edit: Confirmed... took the cable off and it died immediately

ACD lights.
And there you have it! Alternator! Cheaper fixes of the bunch.

You can go to STM's website and order the bulbs from there.
http://www.streettunedmotorsports.co...light_bulb.htm
As for taking the cluster out, it is 2 Phillips screws for the bezel, and 4 more Phillips screws for the cluster. Pull out, unplug it, change bulbs, plug back in, and put bezel back on. Should take 10 minutes.
