Seem not right if alternator quit should run on the battery?How old is the battery? if is older than five years may need to be replaced.
SOURCE: Our 1998 Ford windstar has went all EXORCIST in dash board etc.
at the minimum, since you mentioned all the idiot lights coming on, your alternator is fried. have someone put in a new alternator. if it's still acting up, have someone go over the computer.

Since my last post, I found a bright yellow connector under the drivers seat. I took the connector off of the end, bent it a little, and put it back on. My air bag light has stayed off. I am going to put some electrical grease on it and see what happens.

All these systems are controlled by the GEM, that is the Generic Electronic Module, have Kragen run a quick test and see if the system has codes, but most likely the Module is defective, it is located on top of the fuse panel to the left of the steering column. I have 30 years as a Ford tech so I am pretty darn sure of this diagnose.

The van didi it again the next day and left me stranded on the highway. I had it towed to a dealer and the said it was the alternator. Te replaced it and it hasnt happened since.
