Default Radio turning off,ABS & SRS lights on

While driving to work this morning, the radio went blank.Then the ABS lght came on. I took off the headlights and it went out (ABS light). Turned on the radio and it worked once again. I then turn back on the headlights and the ABS and SRS lights came on. The battery light was on but very,very dim. Just before I parked the car the winter mode light and the arrow for low gear started flashing as well. Any idea what it could be?

+1 Battery.

You may also check your alternator to see if it provides steady charging voltage.

Why battery needs recharge?
- bad battery
- bad connection
- bad alternator
- some user is using to much power (short)
One of this things should be your problem. There must be reason for battery to need recharge
