The alternator and OXS light is typical behaviour when your brushes are
going -- pull them now and check them -- they are real easy to get to and
most FLAPS sell the little unit cheap.

The water light can blink when there is too high a concentration of
antifreeze,
and it blinks if there is a poor connection to the sensor or if the sensor
probes (inside the coolant tank) are badly corroded.

Good luck -- but get that alternator checked proto.

I have no idea why they wired the OXS and alternator lights up this way so
that
they both go on.  Confusing as hell.
