If you had multiple warning lights all occurring at once, pull your front engine cover off behind the seats and check the serpentine belt. It may have come off.

Wouldn't the car overheat pretty quick? He said he drove it. (Water pump not turning)

Yes, under-volt or low battery does make the ABS light as well as others come on. Alternator is my guess. No serp belt would also mean no power steer.

Give Scott Mcllvain at Mcllvain Motors in Tempe. 480-968-2896.

He is reasonable at $80 hour plus he'll make sure you get the best price on a quality alternator. If you need to leave the car there he will also offer you a ride home.

If you go by Mcllvain's look me up as I work about a mile away from his shop.

The Pep Boys are correct. I had the same "Christmas lights" come on the dash while driving and it was the alternator.

A brand new alternator for my 2001 base was $1,400 from a dealer.
I paid about $170 for a refurbished part from Autozone that came with a lifetime replacement policy. I am pretty sure Pep Boys has similar policy.
Replacing the alternator can be a DIY if you are inclined and have the tools.
I say get your hands dirty.
