Yes... there could be sufficient charge to power the lights or other minor power consuming devices but still have insufficient power to engage the starter. Best bet is to take the battery to an auto parts store and have checked.
No. A bad battery is not causing your dash lights to go on and off. A different part is bad. Without equipment I have no idea what it is.
Bad bulbs can be the cause of your reverse lights not working on your 1999 Toyota Tacoma. A problem with the reverse switch or bad wires can also be the cause of your reverse lights not working.
If none of your lights work it sounds like a bad battery cable connection or a dead battery
the connection between the battery and the brake lights
If parking lights and dash lights are not working and fuse blows out, there might be a problem with battery corrosion. Check the components specific to the circuits of the affected lights. It might be loose.
Battery cable connections may not be tight. The starter could be bad. The starter solenoid could be bad. Check to see if the lights work. If they do, leave them on and try to start the vehicle. IF the lights dim, you have a bad battery connection somewhere or a bad starter.
There are several signs that an alternator is going bad. A few signs are dim lights, smell, warning lights, and a dead battery.
I would check the fuses in your 2003 Intrepid. If you had a bad battery, the lights and hazards would be dim. The heater, turn signal and windows may be on the same fuse.
If the fiber optic lights on your Christmas tree go stop working, it can mean the light unit is bad. Other reasons the lights may quit working are that a bulb is loose or bad or the plugs are not connected securely.
Seized engine? Dead battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Bad starter? Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral safety switch? Bad Ignition switch?
Do you mean What does it mean when the brake and battery lights come on in when it is already started? Check your alternator may be its not working well it cause the battery sign comes out.
If parking and tailights are working could be headlight switch--rheostat for dimming control could be bad
