My brake and battery light is on and my lights are fading in and out.
I have had the alternator and the battery tested and they both passed. When I'm driving my lights will be working great and the will become so dim the I can barely see the road. My brakes work great and I don't need and brake fluid. Within the past few days my battery is drained with in hour and then needs to be charged. Someone told me that it's maybe a short between the alternator and the battery so I checked the wires and they are fine. What's wrong with that pile?
