What causes the brake lights to work when the headlights are off but when you turn the headlights and running lights on the brake lights go off on a 1992 Plymouth Sundance?

Often this type of behavior is caused by a bad ground for the lighting circuit. Check the ground circuit for the brake lights.

Left turn signal won't work with headlights on what causes this?
I could not be sure about your particular problem, but I had to replace the Multi-Function and Turn signal switches in a 96 Lumina for similar strange problems of Brakes and signals not working in particular scenarios.
What is the problem when the car starts to sputter when the headlights and ac and radio are turned on while the car is running?
Low Battery VoltageThere could be several causes for the simultaneous use of headlights, air conditioning, and radio resulting in the engine "sputtering." The following description of my findings in my case certainly is not the only cause.I had this happen some 47 years ago near the end of my nighttime return home from a long trip, and I determined the cause turned out that my generator [this was before alternators were common] had failed.After a few hours of using a lot of current [headlights, tail lights lights, and radio] out of the battery, the battery voltage dropped so low that the high voltage from the distributor/coil was too low to create a "hot" enough spark to guarantee ignition of the fuel/air mixture in all the cylinders all the time.Because I was on a back country highway, out in the middle of nowhere, with no help for miles, I was forced to turn off ALL electricity using devices, except the ignition. Fortunately there was a full moon and I was able to limp into my home town and home. I was lucky and had cut it very close as the engine was barely running when I got home.It is important to note that a defective alternator/generator is not always the cause of the battery not being adequately charged. Other causes could include [but is not limited to]:The drive belt maladjusted allowing slippage on the alternator pulley.Maladjusted or defective voltage regulator.Any conductor [wire] in the charging system either cut, broken, or grounded.There are probably other causes which don't come to my mind at the moment. Good luck.
How does running water affect rocks?
The more the water brushes against the more the rock fades away meaning that parts of the rock is eroded ,washes away, it changes formation.
What causes voltage on 1999 Saturn sl2 to go from 12.2V to 14V at random times?
The cause is the voltage regulator within the alternator (working normal). When the voltage higher it is charging the battery like after you start your car or have the headlights and wipers on. The voltage regulator keeps your battery charged up. In order to charge the battery, voltage must be higher than battery voltage.

What causes headlights to not come on?
a flat battery
What causes the battery light to come on when the headlights goes on?
Your alternator may not be putting out enough Amps to charge your battery and run your headlights as well. You can test this by measuring the voltage from the battery with a multimeter. With the car running the volts should be around 14 or more on a 12 volt battery. Try it with the lights on too.

What causes the headlights to periodically flicker on a 2005 Trailblazer?
I have an 2005 and the headlights on it will dim, and then brighten back to normal. I bought it brand new, and it has done it since I bought it. I actually took it back to the dealership, and asked them about it, and they said that Chevy knew that it would do that, but that the car would keep running, and that there was nothing that they could do about it. Hope this helps.

What causes the dashboard light to dim after turning on the headlights?
Because the power for your headlights is pulled from your battery. When the dashboard lights dim after turning on the headlights the dashboard lights aren't getting as much power as they were with the headlights off. With the motor running or off? The headlights draw a lot of current, but should not visibly affect other systems. There could be a problem with a worn out battery, an alternator that isn't charging correctly, or you have a bad earth between the battery and the chassis. Check the large cable connection between the battery (usually negative these days) and the bodywork, or between the engine block and the bodywork.
