I got my alternator replaced the alternator was from auto zone, now my ses, airbags, abs, hand brake lights stays on from cold start up for about 10 minutes till the motor warms up, also the car loses power but doesn't die out completely at cold start up, its affecting my headlights and console lights/radio. When i had my alternator replaced did i have to do some kind of a reset on the car's computer? what is causing this problem?

Opinions/ help is greatly appreciated

 

Sounds like a ground issue.

 

maybe the ground for the alternator? how do i resolve this and thank you quick post

 

Generally the alternator will ground itself when you bolt it on. There's usually just a hot wire that runs from the battery to the alternator and another plug in with a couple of wires that run to the computer. Check your battery terminals and make sure they are clean and tight. If the are, and if you have a volt meter, check the battery voltage in the morning before you start the car. Then check the voltage at the battery after you start the car up and all the dash lights are on.

 

check your battery cable too.. I had to replace that on an older car of mine after my alternator went out.
