My brake light and battery light flicker

Both lights stay on or flicker simultaneously. I have a new battery and don't really know what to do about the brake light. They don't cause problems but i would just rather have a clean cluster.

Have your alternator checked. More than likely, it's on its way out. Flickering battery and brake lights are symptoms. Search and you'll confirm what I'm telling you.

This inexpensive upgrade may keep your car going for a little longer...and extend the life of the replacement alternator when you get it replaced. It may also just fix your problem entirely.
