"Brakes" light on dash stays on and car dies after about ten miles then wont restart as if the battery is slightly drained. Windows etc, still work but engine makes clicking noise. No prior warning lights just the brakes light illuminated. It seems like the longer I wait and try again to start it it seems like if I wait long enough it may actually start again.

Good morning,

Sounds like the battery voltage is going low from not being charged.

I would have the electrical system tested with load testing the battery and checking the charging system.
