Alright since I can't really get much help about my other electrical issue, maybe I can get this fixed. Car, when it was running flawless before I had the ignition issue, if I was under boost and turned my signal on, would lose power everytime the signal would light.

Also, If I go into the car right now, put the ignition to ON but don't start it, the Brake and Batt light is on but dim.... This issue started a while back but never noticed anything wrong. Anyone got idea's.?

A little...ish. It comes and goes. I don't really notice when its not on because its normal, or daytime. But most of the time its on. It used not to do that.
 
Ok. I originally thought the first issue (the power loss with signal and what not) was an alternator or battery issue. So I replaced a dead optima redtop I had with a brand new one since I have warranty. That didn't fix it. So I took my alternator and it came up not good. So I replaced it. Well this new alternator still does it. Its not really a power loss like voltage. Even tho the lights to dim a little when signal or brakes are applied, but its that hesitation or spark issue or whatever it is when I'm boosting it and I hit the signals to change lanes.

If I start the car, it doesn't go away, if I rev it, it goes away but sometimes randomly I notice its back on. Alternator checks out to be fine, so I cannot get it replaced, unless it fails.
