Okay, so, after my car setting not started and not driven for a little over a year now due to a CV axle issue that's now fixed. I had to replace my battery that drained after a few days to a week of not messing with it. I now have on my dash a symbol for the battery, the brakes, and a triangle with a ! Inside it all come on at start and stay on. So, I did some online searching and found that the brake light could be due to something in the ABS because I checked the fuses bulbs and hazard lights all work and I f. I'm adding a couple pics of what I found when inspecting the e-brake and brake area inside the car. As from the master light I read it can be due to low and stale old gas or low transmission fluid from changing the axle. Also, changing the fluid for a starting spot as for the battery light it said to check the voltage it was almost dead so I had it charged and the started it and disconnected the negative cable and it shut off automatically so I'm guessing the alternator what are your thoughts and suggestions on it please remember the pics are of the inside on the floor ebrake.

Yes, all of these lights can come on if the alternator is not outputting charge voltage. To be sure let's go over these guides to confirm the non-charge issue:

I'm not so worried about the loosing charge on my battery over some time of not even unlocking it because I figured the alternator is going bad since the battery is new and after fully charging it, it stays charged about a week of me not even unlocking it with the fob as for the brake and master warning lights are you saying that the alternator being bad can cause them to aluminate verses it being say the brake light being due to all the gunk built up on the e brake assembly. Considering the recall on something to do with the brakes or the master being due to the gas being low and old like been sitting at least a year of barely being started and not driven any and or being low on tranny fluid from me changing it when I did the axle. I'm just curious on these if you need video.

Maybe we should run the codes first, did you check to see if the alternator is charging per the guide I sent?
