Info Lights Hiccup

On the dash the lights for the parking light and ABS or on more than not. When I put the parking brake on they'll light with full power, but when I disengage the parking brake they'll be on dimmed though, like with half the power running to them. then if they're on my turn signals won't flash either. it's reallt quite annoying. It's raining now so I was gonna look into it later, but thought I would post something so I would have a better chance in resolving it. Thanks.

I also would agree with a bad ground. May be a chaffing wire or something is corroded too

Yeah, I'm not sure where to really start. the turn signal issue and the ABS and parking brake issue are directly related though. When ABS and parking brake are on signals don't work. I checked the ground on the parking brake and that was fine.

I got it fixed yesterday. In the mix of replaceing my 7 way plug, checking for corrosion in plugs and applying dielectric grease, checking if ABS was throwing codes, and reseting the module it's all gone. No more info lights being on constantly and turn signals work. So yupp all better
