It made me think the probe was bad. I got a new probe and it seems to do the same thing. It seems to settle down...

    Brake lights out :/

    Hi hive, What started as a quest to determine why my washer pump wasn’t working has turned into something more sinister. My brake lights do not work. I also have no e-brake engaged light.

    Drivers door lock won’t lock
