Default First the "brake lamp" now all of em!

Well first my "brake lamp" was on and so i didnt bother checking it out nor did i drive the car at all since then, but now when i go and start up the car just to get it running so the battery doesnt die...now all the lights are on indicating that both of my doors and trunk is open when none of them are open. Any ideas folks? thanks for any help

It may not be an issue of the voltage it is putting out, but can be an issue of the amperage and if it's really supplying the power it needs to be supplying.

I'm trying to remember the other possible causes. You may want to swing by an Advanced Auto and have them load test the alt (should be free)
