Answer
Hi Vanessa,
It could well be the alternator or a wire that controls it. I would go to an Autozone parts store and try to get a fault code readout, for free, which would verify if that is the case or not. Or try turning the ignition key on-off-on-off-on and leave on, doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time. The watch the odometer window to see if the mileage reading changes to show instead any 4-digit number. Let me know one way or the other when you get such coded numbers which will likely tell you what is wrong. The number 0622 means that either the alternator is bad or the wire from the engine controller to the alternator is 'open'.
