Q: Turn signals and sensors

asked by on November 02, 2017

My turn signals work at times and at times they just won't. Similar problem with hazards. Also, the sensors are indicating incorrect issues for example as tire pressure while pressure is fine in all tires. Abs light won't go while I had new brakes I stalled a month ago

My car has 176000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
