Random dash alarms

2010 f150 xlt 5.4 super crew, 148k. Yesterday while driving home from work, door ajar, parking brake light, tpms light and traction control light would all flash, one after the other. And while turn signals are activated, the sound and inside light seem to hesitate and not make sounds or come on at all, but turn signals themselves are working as they should. Never had this happen before, and it happened again this morning. Then they go off and eventually come back on minutes later. Tried searching through forums and facebook groups, but couldn't find any good info. Battery and alternator check out good, according to autozone, so really unsure of where to turn to next.

Locate the grounds behind both front kick panels, remove them and clean all contact points including removing any paint from the sheet metal they attach to and retighten them all. It's a known point of interest with such symptoms but I have to inject with the amount of computer controlled functions anything's possible, those grounds are a good starting point.

Understood, I'll give it a shot tomorrow and update, thanks for the advice.
