no headlights and engine stalling

i have read the post of the DRL bad ground but i am wondering if this can also be causing my brake light coming on when the fans kick on and the engine stalling also when either i put on a turn signal or turn on my a/c. The car was sitting for a while and i got a good deal on it knowing it had these electrical problems . Wondering if anybody else has had this problem. I have checked to see if i was getting a/c current out of alternator but it checked out fine. I can hear sometimes multiple relay buzzing or clicking at times , but like i said it seems as soon as fans or turn signal or headlights turned on , engine stalls. Any help would greatly be appreciated

it sounds like you have an issue with a bad ground and the engine is pulling ground from somewhere else.
