Check the adjustment on the brake switch its on the upper portion of the brake pedal .Look at it . Its adjustable and will like solve your problem .

YES Car needs to be on a RAMP

the one coming from the battery with the bigger lug hole should only have on spot it can go, and there should only maybe 2 for the relay and one has to be a ground or neg the other one come from the ignition switch.

Your fuel pump relay shouldn't have anything to do with your alternator, directly, as far as I know. What kind of problem are you having? If your having electrical problems, I'd have to check the battery and charging system. Go from there.

No the fuel pump relay works through the ignition key . The alternator charges direct to the battery. The only thing that can happen is the voltage can increase up to 14 volts on the hole system this should not affect the relay.

If there is no voltage of the Large Red wire that is bolted to the back of the alternator, then you have a wiring problem. This wire usually goes directly to the starter where it joins up with the wire from the battery. There is, in most cases, a fusible link installed in-line on this wire (not a fuse, a fusible link). If this line draws too much current, then the link melts ans acts as a fuse. Once it melts, there will be no charging voltage as the alternator output cannot get to the starter, or the battery.

IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD. LOOK FOR A BLACK BOX OPEN IT AND ON THE UNDER NEITH SIDE IS A DIAGAM FOR EACH FUSE.

What do you mean by short in the fuse box? there are relays in there that pop and click. Is the something not working or do you smell something burnt?

there may be a relay or fuses in the engine compartment in a sealed box compartment. The window light may be a different relay or directly wired somehow to the brake switch on the brake pedal.it could be a blown globe. but i am assuming you checked that out also.

try looking to see if the bulbs are blown if so replace them, check for loose connections, still nothing check the wiring, fuses

You will have 12 volts /hot wire coming from that wire. If you don't, then it is a ground to the regulator/ field in the alternator. the field ground comes from the ECM. But being a 98, it can be bypassed. You need an electrical schematic. Cut the wire at the alternator to the field. Ground it to the engine. Make sure the engine has a good ground to the body.

look in the owners manual it has instructions on how to set it

Dont remove the hub! Usually you can rotate the hub and find a spot that the stud will come out.Other option is to saw off and inch or so of the stud before you remove it.Then knock it out.Good luck!

Go to a PepBoys an get a Hanes manual for your vehicle. It tells ALL. Too long a procedure to tell you hear, but first you do need to push the window all the way up and hold it there with duct tape over the top of door frame and down the window. You may not need to replace the track, could be just one of the rollers came out the track. Pull the panel off and find out.

check auto zone web site, they have some component locations.

At this point, it sounds like your headlights work as they should and your brake lights work as they should. Am I missing something?
