Sudden loss of Turn signals, window power, and cool air control

I was driving around last night and all of a sudden realized I my blinkers werent turning on any more, the switch still work i think (wipers, HB, Wash) Also my battery light comes on for a minute or two after startup. all of my windows have no power, my sunroof does though. My fuel, eng temp, and tach dont work but I have dash lights and speedo. I checked the fuses I think there all good. I have been hearing a sound like arching from under my consol? do you think it could be somthing realted have been hearing it for awhile thought it was just the hvac. anyways I am at a loss, any help would be great!

sounds like a weak alternator to me.

Does your Tach jump around while your driving? (sorry re-read, no tach operational. . .your speedo has NOTHING to do with power, its cable driven and your dash lights have the most minimal power draw)

How are things when you crank the engine, slow, clicking sounds?

your turn signal relay might be out also, the solution, replace your hazard switch, it is contained within. (explains the sounds from the console). . .I had that happen to me once.

Have you been messing around in your console?

Well....

So my dad was jumping before it died, and that would explain the battery light? Also I drove for a good 30mins with headlights on and didnt notice they dimmed or anything.

From what I can remember (I only have been drving mabye twice or three times a month) it starts just fine. First try after first glow no smoke.

I was in the console awhile ago mabye a year or so?

THANK YOU!
