next thing is these crazy *** lights... the BRAKE light stays on... while the ( LIGHT ) light stays on but until i rev up to 2,000 rpm then it goes aways when i touch the gas pedal i hear a BUZZZING SOUND
This is what caught my attention as I just had a similer problem. Do you hear the buzzing noise when the warning lights are on and if so does it sound as though the noise is coming from behind the dash? Almost as if the light itself was causing the noise?

Give this thread a read and see if that sounds familier:

Well....I was having issues with my alternator. SPecifically my power steering pump was leaking and dripping onto it....so I guess you could say I had two problems....but regardless the alternator was causign the battery light, the "Hey you've got a light out" light, and the brake lamp to be lit, sometimes the ABS warning light would come on as well. During this whole series of issues the buzzing noise would fluctuate with how bright the "lamp out" light was. When that lamp went off the buzz would stop. Read through the thread I linked and see if any of that sounds familier. If it does I would recommend having your service folks check out your alternator both electronically and visually to see if there is anything amiss.

Dear god, just PLEASE make sure the alt is 110% moisture free before you try to fire it up again and the power sterring pump is no longer leaking. (kinda defeats the purpose of cleaning out the alt if you turn around and drip more crud into it)

Oh my car is definately possesed....does wierd crap to me all the time actually.

One time I'm driving home and hear this horrid *THUD* from under the car like I just hit a giant rock, felt it right under my *** too.....got home, jacked it up to do a visual and nothing...not a nick, not a ding, not a nuttin....

Then there was the mystery squeek that only lasted for 15 minutes......I had it completely die on my on the way to work one night....ran like crap, thought I was boned, it started the next day but tried to die on the way home, the following day it started hard but ran fine, coming home it started fine and hesitated once, then next day (the day I was going to take it to the shop) it ran fine with no issues at all and has ran fine since.

Hell just last night my fasten seat belt light came on for no good damn reason and wouldn't turn off unless I had the passanger belt fastened....that cleared up as of this morning.

You gotta LOVE these cars
