Default Re: warning lights came on while driving

I had similar problems on my CGT, my digidash would decide to reset, and the annunciator lights (including seatbelt warning light would come on). If your voltage is going below 11-12v, then, check your battery. I had a short in my battery. A new battery solved the whole problem. The squeeky belt should be fixed as well, but may be agrivated by the high loading on the alternator, caused by the battery. Best of luck, Dan
