I have a brake and battery warning light on with no apparent problems. Battery is charged, alternator is putting out 14.5volts, no breaking problems and fluid is fine.

Any suggestions

Generally, when the battery and brake light come on, the alt. Or battery is bad.

Have the charing system tested. Check the battery for CCA (cold cranking amps) and dead cells. Have the alternator checked for load and non-load output and alternator ripple.

If everything is OK, then there is a fault in the warning system.
