So when I get up to 40mph or so my battery and brake warning lights flicker on and off. It seems like a loose connection or a short as the hand brake is definitely disengaged and the battery is in fine shape and snugly connected. Any ideas?

Hi filmforever,

I would suggest checking the alternator and its charging rate.
