Question:
I had been driving my '91 Corolla for about 30 minutes when both the brake light and battery light came on. A few minutes later the Radio shut off and the clock went dim. The car continued to run for about 5 more minutes until the engine shut down completely and the battery was dead. My first thought was the alternator but why whould the brake light be on?

As the voltage in the system sags many of the electronics will tend to enter their diagnostic mode.That's when you get those erroneous panel lights! It does sound like a failed alternator/voltage regulator problem! Good Luck!What is a timeing belt and what are the symptoms of it giving out?
would still check alternator , not sure why brake light came on, possibly a dead short on brake light circuit causing alternator to stop chargingMuffler Bearing , Nut Behind the steering wheel , Left handed monkey Wrench ?

Usually, this happens with only ABS systems, as they don't work if the voltage present goes below approximately 10.5 V.I have a rather deep 6 in scrach on my car. Whats a good product to remove the scratch?
Classic example of alternator failure tho. You might want to replace the battery if it's over 3 years old as well.
