Just about had it with all the electrical problems. Please help!
Sorry I posted this in wrong section was suppose to be in c5
Last night the ABS, traction control, and check engine warnings all came up on the DIC when I started driving the car.
After a short trip to the store it took a few tries to raise the headlights. Also my left blinker erratically blinks fast some times and then goes back to normal.
Then as the grand finally, I got a low voltage warning!
I had the battery, alternator, and starter checked and all is good.
I believe the headlight issue is a separate problem as it has happened before. I also checked and made sure the battery connecters were free of corrosion and were torqued at 13 lbs.
What could be going on with my possessed car?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Where did you get your alternator checked out? If it was autozone or some of these other quick parts places I would not trust their findings. Twice I have had autozone check out alternators for me once on a toyota and once on a LS1 firebird and they said it was good when I knew different. I took them to a place that deals in strictly alternators and starters and they had better test equipment and showed they were bad.
