Hi there,

Have the alternator charge rate check to ensure that the charge rate is ok, also have the brake fluid level checked as it may be low causing the dash brake indicator light to show up, start here.

Take to any autoparts store and get alt. tested.

The BATT and BRAKE light come on to indicate an insuffcient charge, (under 12V).
