question about 1993 850

here's what's been happening lately to my 93 850. the seat warmers and power side mirrors stopped working. when i back down my driveway and then when i first accelerate, the battery light comes on. there's a bit of hesitation and then the car kicks in fine. now, when you start up, the air conditioning and recycling lights flash on and then stop. i guess these are all separate problems but they're happening all at once. any ideas?

The symptoms you describe can be caused by many things and it would be imposable to provide an accurate diagnosis without further investigations. The problem could be as simple as a slipping alternator belt, dirty or loose battery contacts, or loose grounds on the engine. The problem could also be more serious including a faulty battery, alternator, regulator or grounding / wiring trouble in the harness.
