    Sounds similar to my daughter's car when her alternator went bad.
    It didn't last long after that. Ended up needing a battery also.

    Put a multimeter on that sucker and check the voltage. Not sure about the brake light, but it definitely sounds like the alternator isn't putting out proper voltage at idle.

    Cranked it uo and it was at 13.90 while driving it dips between 13.8 and 13.95. Then coming to a stop it drops all the way down to 13.73 for a second or two and then back up to 13.82. Now im just sitting with the engine off listening to the radio trying to drain the battery a little and im seeing the dash lights on the speedometer flash on and off randomly for a split second and ive never had her car do this before.

    Now after starting it after playing the radio, the first reading I saw was 12.07 and it climbed back up to 13.8

    Hmm...sounds like it's doing what it's supposed to do. Did it do anything odd when the idiot lights were flashing? Honestly, if the alternator is working, which it seems to be, then I'm at a loss. Maybe a loose wire or a computer issue? Dunno. Intermittent unpredictable behavior sucks to diagnose. :(

    Did you get any codes?

    Yikes! That doesn't sound too good. Sounds like some sort of cascading electrical failure. :eek:
