Unhappy Annoying lights( need help)

I have a 98 Honda Accord (manual Vtec) and I noticed that my battery, brake and door indecator lights up on the dash board. I went to Autozone to check if my battery and alternator was O.K. and they said there is no problem. One of the associates said that the electrical connector to the Alternator might need cleaning, so i purchance a connetor cleaner. It worked for at lest 2-3 weeks this morning it started back up. I was wondering if someone else had the same problem and how they dealt with with it?

Welcome!
Sometimes that can be caused by ground problems, especially with different things that aren't supposed to be related.

I'm gonna move this to General Tech where you probably get better answers.

Try cleaning all of the connections, including where it connects to ground. Trace the negative battery cable and see if there is a connection problem on the end opposite the batery.

Jon, from your 2000 do you know where there's a cluster of ground wires screwed onto some metal back in the dashboard? Maybe near one of the fuseboxes? I never had to remove the instrument cluster when I had a 1998, so I don't know where to look.
