Battery was dead all of a sudden... Jumped it and all the lights started flickering... Dome light dash lights... Windshield wipers came on and they were turned off... Driving down the road everything shut down until the gas was pressed and then it all came back on... Called several places and no one can tell me what is wrong.

The dashboard ABS light and brake light illuminate. This happens off and on over the past several years. Sometimes you will drive for 5 to 10 minutes and then the lights come on and sometimes they come on immediately after you start the car. When the lights are on, the ABS systems does not work. The problem has persisted so long that my dashboard brake light must be burned out because it longer illuminates, even when you turn the ignition key forward and all dash lights are supposed to illuminate. Dealership repairs were over 500. I believe this is unethical when this is a safety issue and judging from complaints online, there appear to be many people with the same problem.

Right side (passenger) front marker light has a grounding problem. I changed the bulb twice and the problem still occurs. The light stays on for no reason and the onboard computer shows that all lights are fine. If you bang it will go out.
