Battery Light and Brake light comeing on???

For the last week or so my battery and brake lights in the dash have been blinking and coming on at the sametime. I was wondering if that is a code or does anyone know why it has been doing that. Can anyone help me out??? Thanks in advance.

is it flickering? making a clicking noise? if so, it's definately the alternator. check all the connections. Maybe something going to the battery?

The lights inside flicker on and off, and now they stay on for a second or two.
