    Hey guys, First poster.
    So Im having a lot of problems with electrical, Going on 4 yrs. Lol
    One day my AC started blinking and goes off along with cruise control.
    Couple of months later the throttle started to hesitate and a couple months later the parking lock wouldn’t activate when pressing brake. But started working again a couple months after.
    Well after 4 yrs of symptoms my alternator went out and after replacement a couple day later I noticed it wasn’t hesitating and the CC was back online. Guy said it might have been the problem all along.
    But it only lasted about a week and all the issues resurfaced.

    I took it the the mechanic at first because the AC and he did the service on it but didn’t seem to fix the issue of it going off. Hooked up his computer and was getting a open in stop light switch circuit. I replaced the switch but that didn’t help with the other issues.

    Did some research with my symptoms and led me to the MAF. Replaced it and it’s working good most of the time. Sometimes it seems like it’s missing a shift and hesitates until I pump the accelerator. So that kinda works for now.

    I replaced the brake light switch again, This time I got an OEM but this time it’s doing some weird shit. The brake lights are on without pressing on the pedal.
    I trie different positions as you can inserted it and rotate and it will lock in that position and lights will go off and work but stop working after driving.
    I checked the switch with bulb tester and continuity and works like it’s supposed to.

    Any advice on what else to check as this is driving me nuts.
