Replace belt asap.., if the belt is torn completely the RPM gauge will not work.., and the possibility for a brake failure is more as most of the cars have a belt connecting radiator fan, coolant pump, alternator and brake hydraulics.
This does sound like a bad alternator,have the battery tested and check the connection at battery and positive feed cables form battery,next time all the lights come on have the charging system check dont remove alternator,also make sure the power cable to alternator is good,ive had a few of these they get hot and dont charge, have them tested and they tell me its good, put it back on car and customer is back again,i replace the alt and problem solved. hope this helps.ps check the alt fuse.
