Turned out to be the alternator, the first time it was tested it passed. Took it out again and to a differant store were it failed. New alternator fixed the problem. The brake light is tide into voltage for all instrumentation and thus the reason for it to light up on voltage warning light. New O2 sensor makes a noticable differance, will update the increased mileage.
Thanks for the help!
