My 4cyl. seems to idle really really high cold or not and it appears to only happen in conjunction with my battery and e-brake lights staying on after ignition. IF those lights go off before reaching my destination, it will drop back down to low idle a little bit after they go off. Today, for the first time, my radio kept going on and off within the first ten minutes of driving. Does this sound like some sort of alternator issue? I have a belt the squeaks a whole bunch while driving, too. Maybe the alternator belt slipping? Help!
 
hmm sounds like a a bad ground somewhere but yea take the alt. to autozone and get it tested
if its good put it back in and go ahead a buy a new belt.. if you cant remember when was the last time you replaced the belt then yea its time for a new one
but i would guess you have a bad ground somewhere with the fuse box
just a guess without being able to look at the car hope this helps
 
I would use just a little common sense here and take it to a shop. You have multiple issues none of which can be diagnosed over the internet for free. Maybe the alternator belt is slipping who knows.
