Why do my battery light and brake light keep flashing off and on, on my dash? And when I open my door with the keys out of the ignition, the doom light flashes of and on and my door chime dings off and on and outside lights flash off and on, when the battery and brake light flashes on the dash it keeps kicking off my rear window defogger?
Please and thank you,
Tim

Have you checked and see if your alternator is bad?

With the battery light coming on first thing I check is alternator unstable/low voltage causesncomouters to act crazy which control a lot On the car.
