Timing belt and battery indicator were flashing

[horukuru]

It happened a few times while driving and the battery pin also dropped to the middle. I'm using a dry battery.

What is the problem? I took the pic when I reached home

That's most likely the plug on the back of the alternator. You can clean the contacts.

Or it could be a faulty earth somewhere. Do you have an item that does not work indicating where the faulty earth might be ?

With me my rear wiper stopped and I found a corroded earth inside the top tail gate frame.

Alternator or plug on the rear is my best guess.
I had all sorts of lights come on when the alternator failed on my 100.

Yep, alternator brushes or plug on the back. As above, pull the plug off and inspect for corrosion. Give it a few good wiggles on and off again before refitting to clean up the contact and see if that improves matters. If no improvement, remove alternator and check brushes are not stuck or so short they don't connect properly.

I had that happen to me once too, it was certainly worrying. Mine was simply that the plug had come loose (it must not have been reconnected quite properly at some stage). A good push and wriggle until it clicked properly into place and the problem was gone.
