    check it out. See if the lights are still on after replacing the battery. If not, perhaps it is your alternator which is acting up.

    Update.

    Lights came on again after just leaving the car parked outside. Will try to charge again the battery to see if it will go away again. Would like to inquire if anybody can recommend a shop in Paranaque area which has the device to read the sensors just in case the battery charging won't work.

    Many thanks.

    our car's dash lights starting acting up 2 weeks ago. after a few days, the car stalled.
    it turns out, the battery was dead, because the alternator died.
    a trip to the alternator shop resurrected the alternator ("IC" daw).
    car is fine now.

    What you can do is to have the alternator checked and see if the battery cables are tight. However, if you need further assistance, you can visit your trusted car shop. Also, You might want to visit this website online. For sure they have a listing for the best shops within Parañaque that would cater any of your car related needs. Hope you'll find this helpful

    So hindi battery ang problema? Ilang years na ba ang sasakyan mo?

    1.) There could be a problem with your alternator.
    2.) If the alternator is ok, then there could be a parasitic drain in your electronic systems.

    Use a multimeter/multitester to test if there is power going to your car battery from the alternator

    bring at least 6K.
    if it's the alternator, have it repaired, asap. some folks say the repaired original alternator, is better than a brand new alternative brand.
    "yock's" is a popular alternator shop among some folks here.
    good luck, po.
