Daughter called tonight, drivers side headlight is dim compared to passenger, Trac off light - service engine light - theft light all came on, horn doesn't work nor do door chimes, speedometer fuel and temp gauges all dropped to 0 while driving ....... but if she hits the brake pedal all the warning lights go away and the gauges start to show values again .... then back to previous state when letting off the pedal - any ideas for me to checkout/chase down tomorrow? Could all of these be tied to one core issue?

Maybe or maybe not. For instance on the headlight, there was a recall for certain years involving the front lighting harness in the vicinity of the radiator, bad splices if I remember correctly. The rest could be a bad cluster but the codes should be scanned. Autozone and others do it at no charge.

There is a wire that runs under the battery tray. Sometimes that wire can get lose connection and cause the entire electrical system to go crazy. Dash lights, exterior lights, everything. Very similar to signs that it's shorting out.
