When the van is running both the brake light and battery light are on. The dashboard lights go on and off especially when the driver door is open and closed. This all started after I put the van in drive and there was a bright flash of light from the driver's side headlight and both headlights went out. The van still starts and runs.
The alternator is not charging the battery. Could be a bad connection bugt usually it's the alternator that's bad. The Villager & Quest both turn on the battery light and the brake light when the charging system is not working porperly
It's the distributor .

This is easy. Lift the lid open. Look at the back of the sealed beam and you will see a clip and an o ring. Pull the clip up and pull wires back toward the driver's seat. Unscrew the o ring and firmly pull the bulb out toward the driver again. Note the 3 tabs on the bulb seat and realign the new bulb with those tab ( 2 bottom, 1 top). Replace with #9007 bulbs..do them both.
