My brake and battery dashboard lights came on when i was driving there was no change in the way the vechile ran but the was a slight whining sound

check all pulleys and components also have alternator tested --screeching is belt slipping ---if tensioner is damaged or worn change it

check the brake light wire in both plugs ( broken /loose
check bulbs in the lights

The shudder in the brake pedal sounds like a warped brake rotor. the relay sounds like the brakelight switch.

What kind of "dinging" noise? Do you hear it whenever the car is moving, or only when you apply the brakes? When you changed brake pads, did you bleed the brake system? If it wasn't bled properly, that could activate the brake warning light.

Yes,the newer cars need a strong battery or funny things happen. You'll need to replace your brake pedal switch or bleed the system properly. don-ohio (:^)

your brakes are what is called power brakes if your vechile did not have power brakes it would be hard to push the brake pedal down the power brake booster is ran off vacume from the motor if your booster is bad it will give a hissing sound or simalar there not hard to replace but you have no tools or experince dooing repairs like this its best left to a shop.

Sounds like the brake switch under the dashboard. It is attached so when you put your foot on the brake it preses a switch. Take a look and see if you can adjust it, if not replace it.

sound like tranny pump went out.

The whining your hearing is the timing belt idler or tensioner pulley. The belt is alittle tight but the whining will stop after a while after you get some miles on it. Try replacing your oil pressure sending unit and see if the light turns off. If not, you'll have to remove the timing covers again and double check your marks. Also, this is a no brainer but I have to ask, is your oil level ok.

The most likely problem is your alternator, but you can check with a volt meter to ensure that is your problem. Start your car (use a battery charger or jump to start it if you need to) and put your meter on the battery post's. If your reading 13volts or so your alternator is working and maintaing voltage, however if your reading starts dropping to 10 or less(may take a few moments to drop) then it's probably your alternator. You can also check your battery's voltage before starting your vechile, if the voltage increases after you start the vechile then it seem to be charging. Alternators can be repalced somewhat easily, however you do have to remove the fan belt, and re-route after installing the new alternator. If you have some expirence working on cars you can do this yourself in your driveway.

Hope this helps
