Why did the charge light the gas light the rear light light and the windshield wiper light all go on and stay on draining my battery in a Mazda 929?

The simultaneous illumination of the charge, gas, rear light, and windshield wiper lights in your Mazda 929 likely indicates a malfunction in the electrical system, often related to a failing alternator or battery. When the alternator isn't charging the battery properly, it can trigger warning lights and drain the battery as the vehicle relies on it for power. Additionally, a short circuit or faulty wiring could cause multiple warning lights to illuminate. It's advisable to have the electrical system checked to prevent further battery drain and potential damage.
