where in NY do you live?

i've never had that happen, but it sounds like maybe your alternator might be on the fritz.

it doesnt click, I did have a problem with i guess it is the wireing harness shorting out against the block a few months ago (dunno HOW i forgot about THAT!) Brian (Chevyeater) helped my hang it off the block with a tie...Im hoping that this is the problem...will check it out tonight....
thanks for the quick replies and will keep you posted...

i think if the tail, brake and coolant light comes on all together it means the diode is going out in your alternator. if the diode goes out current from you battery will travel thru your alternator to the ground point for these three lights and they will come on.

Have your alternator tested.
