Electrical Issue

I was cruising along today when the TC and airbag lights came on, and then the stereo quit. I revved the engine and the lights went out and the stereo came back on. When I got back into town and slowed down, the same thing happened. Lights came on, stereo quit, etc. I turned off the AC system and the stereo powered up again. It seems like an alternator, battery or electricity supply issue.

Any ideas?

I'm thinking the alternator.

sounds like alternator, take it to a local parts store and they can test it for you. or you can hook up a multimeter to your battery and with the engine running you should be around 14.4 volts
