First of all, this is my first post here so hello everyone!
Secondly, here is what I am working with: I have a 2001 Chevy Tahoe LS 5.3L 4WD that I recently acquired a few months back - it was completely stock with 207,*** miles.
Since I got it, I have done brand new maintenance items: tires, brakes, calipers, rotors, oil pan gasket, and oil filter housing gasket.
Aftermarket equipment I have done is: Sony touchscreen double-din radio with backup camera, led taillight housings with resistors built in, led headlights (high and low beams) with new housings, led fog lights, and a few other detail items on the interior.
When we got it, the ABS and Parking Brake Light would come on about every other day it seemed. Which by searching on here, I found that it was more than likely due to a faulty ABS module. I left it alone since nothing else seemed to be affected by it and figured I would get it to it soon enough.
Fast forward to now, and the ABS and Parking Brake Light comes on virtually every time you drive and/or start the vehicle.
Yesterday morning on a cold start, the Service 4WD and ABS came on as I turned sharp right out of the driveway, and the vehicle didn't seem to have much power. I cleared the ABS codes, restarted, and it went back to normal - so it seemed.
As I was driving to see what it would do, it started acting differently and really odd. The ABS and Parking Light were turning on and then off, sometimes together, sometimes individually, while at the same time on occasion the two turn signal indicators on the dash would light up but very dim. When that happened with the signal lights, I lost the ability to actually use the turn signals at all AND my rear view camera would also lose signal - extremely weird.
I do want to mention as well, sometimes there would be no warning lights on at all and the dash looks normal, then I would hit a bump or take a turn and they would start lighting back up - I also find that very odd.
I have not pulled anything apart to start checking things out, but I figured I would ask here first to see if anyone had any ideas of where to start, or what it could possibly be.
I was thinking possibly the LED taillight housings since they have built in resistors possibly? Or maybe even the backup camera itself? Or then there's the obvious possibility of something wrong with the ABS module like I had initially thought?
Thanks for any help!! And so sorry for the long first post!
