1992 Ford Explorer 4x4 electrical problem.

My wife’s 1992 Ford Explorer idles down as she puts on brakes and the ABS,
Check Engine light, and Battery light blink. The speaker makes a popping
sound even though the radio was not on. The mechanic put new back drum
brakes on because he drove it and no lights came on. But after putting the
brake drums on the ABS light came on according to the Ford Dealership. What
do you think? If electrical what do you think is the problem?

Bad alternator and/or battery and bad Rear Antilock Brake Valve.

Might be bad alternator...sometimes the local parts store will test
them for free. Also try pulling fuses one at a time to isolate the
circuit that has the problem.
