False warning lights

My truck 2010 lariat 4x4 ...I get tire gauge malfunction,brake light, swerving line thingy, passenger door ajar, driver ajar and the radio shuts completely off with no buttons responding. No Ac..blinker indicators don't work on the interior but are working on the outside. It can start and drive 10 miles with everything working,turn cat off and when I go to leave- all the above happens..stop somewhere for a hr or so and then everything works again. Tonight it started coming and going while driving for the first time. I had some corrosion on the Battery so I got a new one and installed it. No better..anyone else have this problem or know about it.

Sounds like a connector issue. You could try starting the vehicle then grab the larger main harnesses and wiggle them to see if you can force the issues to occur.

IIRC, there's a main chassis ground right under the battery tray. If you battery got all yucky the ground underneath may have been compromised as well.

Alloro's test would for sure steer you in that direction if you can make it happen by wiggling the wire.

Your cluster connector is going. Give your dash a firm flat hand slap at the front right top side and see if it changes anything. Mine did the same thing so I had to do a quick mod to put pressure on the cluster connector. Problem solved. Must be a 2010 thing.
