First off, replace your battery cables and clean the connections on BOTH ends of BOTH cables. Also make sure your engine is properly grounded to the chassis. This will eliminate this one obvious problem and it's simple to do. If the symptoms persist, ,this sounds to me like a wiring harness issue or an ignition switch issue.

did you ever figure out what was wrong with your emergency brake light? because mine has turned on and it isn't engaged, and my check engine light is on but nothing is wrong with it, and before i go and buy some fuses i wanted to know if you figured out what was wrong?

Blinker problem with my 03 cobra... by bluetick

Kinda of strange problem I can't seem to figure out with my 03 cobra. Pretty much my blinkers work with my headlights off, but as soon as I turn my headlights on my blinkers in the front of the car stop working. The rears are fine no matter what.
 
Now at one point it seems someones had their hands all over this car changing and modding it so who knows what was touch and how they did it. I also noticed that the front headlights don't seem to be original so someone swapped out the headlights. I have yet to replace them but I changed the bulbs and took the flasher out from another car that I knew worked. Still nothing.
 
Problem is I need to pass inspection and they won't with my blinkers no working, if anyone has any ideas let me know. I'm thinking maybe I need to just replace the headlights all together. Could someone have messed with the wiring? If anyone's got any idea's let me know i'll give em a shot.

Electrical Problem with my 95 V6 Mustang by soester

I have an electrical problem with my mustang for a while and fixed it by changing a fuse once in a while. the fuse is a blue no. 15 and is for the brake lights and turnsignal. three days a ago the lights stop working again, but this time the a/c stop blowing cold air and the engine idles rough. i had a tune up not too long ago where i changed, spark plugs, sparkplug wires, airfilter, fuel filter and oil. but now changing the fuse doesn't help anymore and somebody suggested to me to change the relays, so i did and nothing changed. changed the flasher as well not too long ago but problem consists.so if anybody experienced the same problem and found the solution please let me know. a car is vital in orlando fl. p.s. due to a minor accident the bumper and fender got fixed and the left headlight and turnsignal replaced. that's when the trouble with changing the fuses started

while not trying to be funny but did you check the bulb, some times this condition is caused by the filliment or a short in the front if it is the rear one that stays on and vice a verse

"Check Charging System" by tinasgt2005

I have a 2005 Gt. About a month ago my check engine light came on and my car would crap out. We thought it was a fuel problem but it turned out to be the alternator. We replaced the alternator and everything was great until this past Friday. The battery light came on and we had a message on the dash, "Check charging system" We figured it was the battery since it ran completly down when we changed the alternator. We went down and bought a new battery and it seemed to work but then on Sunday the battery light came back on along with the same message. Thinking that we must have a bad alternator we replaced it and it worked great until Monday morning. Same thing, battery light came on with same message, "Check Charging System" I was able to go to work and back home(approx. 60 miles). I went back out and tried to start it but it was completley dead. HELP!!!! Does anyone have any idea of what it could be? I have not had any luck with Ford service departments either. I have 78,000 miles and nothing is under warranty anymore. I have had the same problem as some other posts, fuel tank, radio,etc. I have learned to live with the gas tank after they repalced it twice. I have found that id I go to certain gas stations I can't get past $20.00 but if I go to Chevron or Shell I have no problem. I have come to the relixation that the gas nozzles might be a contributing factor. If anyone has any suggestions on the electrical problems please let me know
