I haven't been using my '88 240 too much lately. The other day I started it up after not driving it for a few days, and several dash lights came on - battery / brake failure / and bulb failure. I revved the engine slightly and the lights all went out. I left the car running for a few minutes and the lights did not come back on.

A friend of mine said that's a sure sign that the alternator is on its way out. Does that sound right? I wouldn't be surprised, since it's the original.

Thanks!
