Brake,T.Control,ABS Light ON? needles,etc

Greetings to all of you!

Maybe you can help me on this one!, Already checked for bad ABS plugs, changed Brake Reservoir, is not lacking of brake fluid etc. Problem is that my SVT has all those lights on in the cluster. Im going MAD! trying to find why!. Bought it that way and I know nothing about her PO. Another problem that Im having is that whenever I start the vehicle it takes a while (10 seconds or vehicle movement (whatever happens first)) for needles to respond. Already tried search bar!!!! thanks

My experience with these problems is that it often takes one small thing to cause a bunch of items to go wrong. As for the T. Control and ABS issues have a shop check the wheel speed sensors. If one is barely failing than the car will turn those two lights on and the appropriate systems off.

By Brake, what do you mean? Do you mean the rear Brake lights are on? Does the pedal feel like it's grinding? Is it hard to brake? Is there some light on the Dash that you're interpreting as a "Brake" light? Do you actually mean the ABS light?

As for needle issue, I honestly have no clue. Currently my Fuel Gauge needle is starting to fail, so I'm going to have to trace that to some issue. My Tach Needle often is incredibly jumpy within the first 5 minutes of the car starting as well. Not sure what the problems are but I'll do some troubleshooting later in the week.

Thanks, will take the focus to an authorized dealer to check why is failing. Regarding the brakes I refer to the e-brake light. As soon as wheels start spinning the light comes on. Fluid was checked, the reservoir cap was changed and still same issue.

I tried to trace the needle issue, checking grounds etc but no luck. Also know of a friend that is having the same issue with the needles but it is an S2.
