86 240DL Wagon AKA Inga (Wife did not like Old Paint)

This problem just started about two weeks ago and is getting worse. When I accelerate three lights on the dash light up. Battery, Brake Failure, and some other red light next to Brake Failure that escapes me right now. The lights flash or stay on only when the engine is under a load. Let off the gas or get up to speed and they stay off. Not a real failure of any of the warning lights. The Car is running fine. As a matter of fact just passed the Emissions test with flying colors and the lights were flashing at the time.

I have not changed the engine wiring harness as of yet by the way. Have had to repair several wires the last two years. I am looking at the wiring now and seeing nothing. Just had the shorted fuel relay problem, and yes I dug around in the harness for about three weeks until I found this group and the problem in the archives.

Could it be a vacuum problem? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.
