Strange issues leaving me baffled
Greetings
So few nights ago something strange happened. I was driving and my radio started to flicker and then shut off. Thinking it's a fuse I kept driving and suddenly all my warning lights lit up and started to flicker and my car shut off.
When trying to start it everything just flashed and shut off. Didn't crank or anything. Even my hazard lights would work. I press it again and everything lights up but no crank. Press it again and my hazards turns off.
I just had battery replaced and when replacing they said my starter and alternator was fine.
Anyone have a similar problem or know what's wrong? Should I test alternator again? This is on an 06 is250 rwd

Since the lights and such will work, but the car won't start, sounds like the alternator is toast. There's enough juice to power the low-draw lights, but not to start the car. This is starting to happen more and more here lately! Happened to be last year actually, with VERY similar symptoms.
