My brake light (hand brake) and battery light come on intermittently. Thought it might be the alternator, but that tests OK. My radio station occasionally (twice now) resets itself to one of my presets (as if I had pressed the button on the steering column...but I haven't.) Do you think I have alternator problems, or electrical problems?? Thanks!

Sounds like a bad battery or connections, Battery light will come on if charge is low or the connection between your alternator and battery is not good or is corroded. Try cleaning the connections, and check to make sure the wiring on your alternator is tight,and also corrosion free.
Your brake light will come on if the master cylinder is low, or if something is making contact with your emergency brake switch., The thing with your radio is probably a short in the switches on your steering column or the wires running through your steering column. You may be able to tilt your tilt steering into another position which may make the shorting wire move away from what it's shorting on.

Sounds like an electrical short- probably in the steering column!

Sounds like a bad ground off the battery
