98 problems.

so, my girlfriend just bought a 98 XLT AWD 4.0. does have a few problems i need help with.

first, the brake light is on (on the dash). all the lines are good, but the front pads need to be changed. if i take off hard, the brake light goes out for a bit.

second, had a CEL. P0743, torque converter clutch circuit blah blah. also, the o/d light flashes constantly. the trans shifts fine, even under WOT. also goes into o/d with no problems, and the button works.

any ideas fellers?

Next check the condition of the connector at the M/C. There was a recall for bad connectors (intermittent) that overheated and caused under hood fires... Philip
