brake and battery lights on

Recently my battery and emergency brake light or ABS brake light are on inside the my 97 Max. gxe My car drives fine, however, it has been extremely COLD! I have a new battery installed about 3 months ago and the emergency brake aren't engaged. Does anyone have any clue to what might be happening??

yes; those are signs of bad alternator
time to replace
if you want to be certain, go to autozone or some similar parts store and ask them to do a free load test

^^^Yes, you can always load test it & everything, but when you get those lights, that means that the alty is having trouble pushing out the needed voltage. It may be a weak battery, so go test it just to be sure that's it's not a bad battery.
