My dash is in the christmas spirit PLEASE HELP!!

Ok so was on my way to do a little wheeling and out of know were my break light in the dash came on. At first i thought to check my fluid level. Pulled over it was good. I have a TG transfercase E-Brake so don't think that's it. And that was only the start.
After some wheeling i came across a huge lake looking water pit. Day was pretty boring so i decide to go ahead and hit it.Made it through no problem but after i went through my oil light came on. Not sure if the huge water puddle had anything to do with it or not. But oil level is good. And sometimes when i take a sharp turn it will flicker or go out for a sec then cut right back on. Also want to add my engine is running just as it did before the light came on.Any ideas???

Sounds like your Alt may be on the fritz. Both oil and brake con for a charging problem. Check you voltage. Charge wire may be loose as well.

My oil light used to do the same thing.
Turns out the wire got broken, and was brittle, so the connection was all jacked up.
The others might be in relation to an alt.
But alt is Charge+Brake, soo... idk.

problem solved. Figure check the easy things off first. Filled the break fluid it was low but not bad filed it some and bam fixed. Then just the oil light. Found the oil pressure sending unit connection was caked with mud cleaned it all up and bam it was gone too. With no money spent thank god because i just blew money on 4.7 gears.
