This is common on this nissan when the alternator goes bad it will turn on these lights and sometimes even more dash lights will come on, check and make sure the belt is on the alternator and didnt come off next check the battery connections and the connections at alternator. have the charging system tested, this is a quick test and will test the battery and alternator and starter, you will see that the alternator is not charging good and need to be replaced, take note that when the battery drains down the car will stop running and you will be stuck out on the road, it sounds like its on its way out , good luck, hope this is helpful.

1998 expedition yesturday was low on fuel got gas drove with headlights on got 4 miles down road vehicle died thought was bad gas 3hrs later vehicle would run but abs light and brake light would flash

There is a problem in the electrics of the vehicle. First place to start is to check the alternator drive belt for condition and tension. Next place is the battery terminals and condition and tension . Third place is to have a load test done on the battery as it may have an internal short and drawing all the current from the alternator. In effect when you add power requirements ( park lights then brake lights then headlights) you are actually using more current than the alternator can supply to keep the engine system running.

Brake light flickers while driving down the road.

Check the brake fluid. It may be just low enough to occasionally turn the light on as you hit bumps and it sloshes a little. Add a little brake fluid to the reservoir and check the brake pads all around.

Driving down the road and my ABS warning light came on

check brake fluid level, brakes, if these are okay you may have a problem with the module.
this light can be caused by low levels in the brake resovoir fluid level and/or brake pads are thin.

Brake lights won't turn off

sounds like it is a brake light switch located at the brake peddle. test the switch and if it is faulty replace it.
