Comes On Center Console My 88 When I Turn The Headlights On. Then It Starts Flashing When I Brake. Also When I Make Sharp Turns, The Other Warning Lights Start Flashin And Flickering. Whats Up With This?

If the brake light comes on when applying the brakes, either the brake fluid is low in the master cylinder, or a brake bulb is burnt out.

If the brake light is always on or comes on randomly the e-brake cable is either too loose or too tight, but since the other lights are coming on randomly then I'm guessing you're experiencing the joy and wonder of mazda's cold soldering.

sounds more like he has a bad alt to me... what voltage does the voltmeter say, when this is happening??

racatech

The warning lights flash when i turn the headlights on and brake. The hatch warning light blinks dimly and also the clock fades on and off. its been doin this since i got the car. anybody know bout this

Icemark

again, what is the voltage... why are you posting again, asking for help and not answering the most basic thing to look at when all the warning lights flash on???

racatech

the voltage is around 11-12. obviously its an electrical problem but where??? parking lights all turn on whenever i brake

When I turn on my push-in overhead lights, my clock turns off and my door open light comes on.

Icemark

The parking lights are turning on, or the idiot lights??? The parking lights would be the 1st step on, on the headlight switch and luminate the exterior corners.

But either way, anything under 12.6 volts means there is not sufficent power from the alternator to run the car. So either your alternator is bad or mis-wired

Sorry for bringing back this dead thread, but I have a similar problem and
thought I should just use this one.

Just recently, my brake warning light comes on whenever I start up from any
gear. If I accelerate up to a certain speed and let off a bit to keep a constant
speed, the light will go away.

I thought it was really weird because it's never done this before. Any thoughts?

As already described above, the BRAKE warning light comes on if the brake fluid is low. You should've checked that before posting, but it doesn't sound like you have...
