Brake and battery on at the same time?

I was coming back from work, hopped onto the high way, got off the highway and then got to a red light. at the light, both my battery and my brake light went on(the e-brake light)........turned the car off and turned it back on, they still came up again. What could it mean?

Read your manual....

Battery light--> Poor charging (i.e. alternator, battery, cables, etc)

Brake light --> Misadjusted parking brake lever, Brake fluid low.

Lots o' brake fluid squirting around underneath your hood?

Don't stop at that light again, bad mojo....
