Default Electrical Problem? 2000 mustang

Hello all, been having a weird problem with my car, and was wondering if any of you could point me in a good direction, because I am stumped when it comes to this one. It seems I fix one thing for another to go wrong... with that being said, I would appreciate it if you guys could check out the following two videos I took of my car. I have some info in the description.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

I got a 2000 too, haven't seen that before but I would think its something to do with the battery/batt cables. Have they been replaced? Has the car successfully started at all?

Check the code and tell us what it is

Also, your battery/alternator is a problem. One of them isn't putting out enough to keep the car going and power accessories.

So i got the battery tested, and it was bad, but i dont think that was the problem. When i had my girl try to start car the lights on dash went crazy flickering, but also the fan on the radiator would wind all the way up before starting to slow down. Also you hear clicking from all points of the motor. All this and the car never even sounded like it would turn over. I dont know if a bad battery could cause this.

I did get the battery replaced and the car fired right up, but this has me worried. I dont know if its a problem that will creep back. We will see.

Well if its doing fine now then that's good but you also have the right mindset of not being totally in the clear yet. Give it a few weeks and if everything still running good with no faults at all then you're in the clear. If it happens again once in awhile I'd say its your battery cables going bad
