Do You Think That If I Buy The Book On My Car It Will Give Me A List Of Reasons For These Lights To Come On In The Dash? I Can Not Think Of Anything Else It Could Be.

I'm assuming that you have checked the taillights and brake lights. If you observe them for a moment to see if the brightness of a bulb changes or if it goes off and back on, you should make sure that bulb has a good, clean ground. You should also find out if your alternator has an internal voltage regulator. If it doesn't, then you may want to connect a voltmeter to the positive and negative posts of the battery while the car is running to verify that you have the correct voltage. 14 volts is what I'd consider good. Turning on accessories such as a/c and headlights should not cause the voltage to drop down very much, and revving the engine should not cause the voltage to increase that much either. Watching your headlights for consistent brightness while revving the engine and turning on and off accessories can give you a feel for how consistent your voltage is. Car stereo amps can draw a lot of battery current, and the fact that you are having problems with your radio might warrant checking its wiring. I would not suspect the battery or the alternator any further, since a battery's hardest job is cranking over the engine, and if is consistently doing that, then it means that the battery is healthy enough to have most of its capacity, and the alternator is working to keep that capacity available.
