Hi,
I've got some problems thats come up but the combination baffles me.
First, as I know everyone has gotten this, I have the Brake Light Circuit warning come up every once in a while and I just ingore it cause it always goes away.
Well, two nights ago, the Warning comes up and doesn't correct itself, and on top of that, my Fuel Gauge goes to empty with warning light on, and my temp gauge drops to cold, not functioning at all. I have a full tank and car is well up to temp as I get heat. Weird thing is that my Speedo and tach still work, but the other two doesn't and I've got the Brake Light Circuit warning annoying me cause it flashes all the time. Can this be a coincidence or are they all separate problems?
I appreciate any feedback on this.
Thanks!

Bump....the exact same thing happened to me today. Wondering if anyone has any advice. Looks like the trunk wiring could be the culprit but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.
