Every so often a couple of lights on my dash come on "ABS" and that anti-slip/traction light. These seem to happen at the same time that my brake lights fail. Anyone had this issue? The last time I had to take it in to be fixed and I get the feeling that even the service people really dont know whats going on. I'm getting really sick of this recurring problem

Luckly people have come to me to inform me my brake lights are not working. Seems always to correspond to when those two warning lights are on.

Correct... The positive cable was super corroded. I used a terminal cleaner and cleaned both terminals and tightened down. This morning the car seemed to act better.

I was sitting still in a parking lot. Does not matter if I have air on , heated seats or lights on the crazyness still happened. Going home that evening I couldnt get it to stop. Then it stops and while sitting steal at a red light a big pop sound happened and everything turned off and on but the engine. From past experience the pop sounded like a spark from a battery
I checked when I got home and cleaned terminals. I still wnat to bring it to a dealership for diagnostics and checkup.
