Start with the most serious first.

You have so many electrical problems happening simultaneously, the only way to start is to isolate the problems. They could be related.

I would pull the fuses to the turn signals and to the license plate lights, and anything else electrical that is not working correctly.

A grounded circuit on the hot side of one of these could pull down the battery leading to the alternator light issue. Recharge your battery and see if the altenator light goes out. Keep the fuses out while you check this.

If this solves the alternator problem, move to the others by replacing one fuse at a time. I'd start with the turn signals and see if they work without the license plate light powered. Use the wiring schematic on this site as an aid in troubleshooting. You'll need a volt/ohmeter to do some checking. I'm assuming the turnsignal and the license plate light are on separate circuits. You can verify this by looking at the schematic.

I'd save the license plate light for the very last since it's the least critical.

Post back what you find.
