What causes brake light message to flash Chrysler 300 when the parking brake is not engaged?
It's probably a problem with the ABS.
New Response:
It may be as simple as your parking brake cable in need of adjustment. To check...pull out the release handle while pulling upward on the parking brake pedal. If the light goes out... voila. Adjust the cable..

What would cause a car's electrical system to go crazy?
Sounds like the alternater is a reasonable suspect to me. Second guess would be the Ghost of Chrysler Past!
AnswerFirst I would start a fresh, new post. Second, what motor and model do yuou have. I would check the ground or negative cable for a loose connection first. AnswerI was recently having similar problems. lights diming & brightning wipers slow alternator kept blowing up. finally transplanted the "brain"... got a new ECM did it my self fairly simple but not cheap. i believe you can get it tested. but i would sugest you do the work your self. i saved 1300.00 that way found the part @ the wreckers 4 cheap! but make sure there is a warenty of sorts. just in case. Answersounds like the alternator to me AnswerI HAD THAT TO HAPPEN TO ME ONE TIME ON A PONTIAC IT TURNED OUT THE BATTERY WAS SHORTED INSIDE OF IT SO YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE THE BATTERY CHECKED AnswerGrounds, grounds, grounds. Check to be sure all grounds are clean and serviceable. AnswerIt could be about a thousand things. Bring your alternator in somewhere and get it checked. If it is bad change it. If it's good bring the battery in and have it load tested. If it is good, then start looking at grounds. If all your grounds are good and clean then start looking at reseting your ECM. Go into the dealership and start asking questions. Most mechanics are good guys they will try to help you out. It doesn't hurt to bring in a coffee for the guy before you ask. Good luck.to move a battery voltage wildly take a lot of current which the car Even if running cannot supply. Basically the battery is not very well connected to the source or a depleted battery
Run a compression test and see how #3 stacks up. Possible burnt valve or blown head gasket.
Check your plug again on cylinder 3. Sometimes you can crack the plug installing it.
You also can check cylinder 3 injector.
How do you turn the daytime running lights off on a 2002 Ford Explorer XLS?
one thing you could do is locate the fuse for the running lamps and pull it out but that may turn off your regular driving lamps. if that don't work than i don't belive you can turn them off.
timing, bad gasoline, plugged fuel filter, carb out of adjustment
No carb, cross-fire injected. maybe plugged injectors within the throttle body.
if it idles very fast like 1500 rpm , one of the IAC valves in front of throttle bodies has stopped working , easy check by blocking air to small odd shaped hole on top of throttle body , should also be able to hear it and find it using hand to block high pitch air noise.

the Power Windows / Power Locks / Power Seats
How do you replace the brake light bulb in a 2002 Ford Explorer?
Lift the tailgate. There is two screws at the top of the lens. Remove. Pull on both sides of the lens directly out from the vehicle as there are two ridged prongs about middle of the lens. It will sound like something is breaking but it should come out with a little tugging. On the back of the now removed lens, turn the top plug a quarter turn and pull away from the back of the lens. Pull the bulb from the wired socket and replace. Install in reverse.
there should be a conpartment in from inside the back of the car to get to it ,also you can get a cheep car book for yours at any autoparts store
Why would the 'air bag' light in your 1998 Dodge Caravan stay on all the time?
There is a "clockspring" in the steering column that is probably broken. When the clockspring breaks, the airbag light comes on. The "clockspring" takes the place of the old slip rings and spring loaded contacts used in older cars to transfer circuits from the steering wheel to the stationary column making the airbag, horn and speed control operational. To replace involves removing the airbag. Take it to the dealer. This was a recall but was not made public, i had the same problem and the dealer fixed it for free. The airbag light came on in my 1994 Caravan and I found the clockspring answer. But when the clockspring is bad, the horn won't work and my horn did work. I called the dealer's service dept and got the clockspring answer. I said it's not that because the horn works. I was told to bring it in for an $80 diagnostic test. Instead, I went back to the manuals and checked the fuse information. Fuse #13 showed the air bag and the rear wiper together. My rear wiper wasn't working, so I replaced fuse #13 and that fixed the problem!
It could be several things. The fuse, clock spring, connection at the air bag harness, bad ground wire. If it is the air bag connection you are going to check make sure to disconnect the negative batter cable to avoid accidentally triggering the bag and causing serious injury to yourself. If you need to change the fuse (although not stated or totally necessary) for the air bag i would also disconnect the battery cable just to be safe. Hope all this info helps to find your problem. Good luck with it. You can also use a code reader to reset the code and see if it stays off.

Why does brake warning light come on and off on 1996 Mitsubishi pajero?
Hi there, my first guess would be that you have a brake fluid leak and the level of brake fluid in the reservoir is *just* high enough to "tell" the sensor that it's ok. Then if you go around bends, the liquid moves inside the container and does *not* touch the sensor anymore - on - off - on - off. Check for leaks, and check the level. If you don't find a leak but the level is low, there still most likely is a leak. Just refilling is only a short-term solution, not finding and fixing the leak is dangerous, as you can imagine. Good luck! Matthias
Where is the blower motor fuse on a 1994 Ford Escort 18 L engine?
I'm pretty sure it's the black circuit breaker (not a fuse) on the top. when you open your fuse box ( under the steering column) it's #15. It's the only thing plugged in there that's not a fuse.
