The a/t , battery and brake light are all on on my montero, can someone tell me what could be wrong? I have checked everything and everything checks out ok. I even unhooked the battery cable to try and get the computer to reset itself. It did not work. Not sure what else to try

If I'm not too late as this is like 60 days old...
The bad news is there is a bolt that is connected to the timing belt that can break because some TOTAL DA over torques it. :banghead: The good news is there is/was a recall bulliten on some models for that problem! :naughty: Ask your dealer to look it up or go to the NHTSA site for it.
In short, if you are driving a 3.5 from the 1990's and the power drops, the tach goes nuts, and every stinking warning light comes on at once but the engine is still running, get to the side of the road and call a tow truck.
