Exclamation Help! '02 Accord - Battery, Brake, All Doors Ajar lights on

Hey there,

I have a 2002 Honda Accord V6 and my Battery, Brake, and Doors Ajar lights have been on the past few days...Today, my windows had difficulty crawling up, the car kind of shuddered a bit, and after returning, had some difficulty starting (took a little longer when turning the key), and just now when parking again, even the ABS and TCS lights came on...I replaced the battery a few months ago.

Does anyone have any possible causes for this/has anyone gone through this in the past? I'm at work now and am worried the car won't start when I head out of here tonight...

Thanks!

I would check the connections at the battery to make sure they are tight. You may want to have the alternator tested.

Update: Thanks a lot PAhonda, you were right and I appreciate the advice! I was definitely going to get the alternator tested since the connections to the battery were good, but I didn't make it more than half a mile before my car shut off on me last night on the way home from work. Called AAA and got it towed to my local mechanic, and he called me this morning and told me he swapped the alternator and the car's back up and running fine (minus a few other repairs I've been holding out on due to lack of $...)

Definitely going to stick around on these forums, you all seem really helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks again for your help.
