Default Weird little gremlin

I've got a 99 Dakota and it's been nothing but a gem till last week and I was hoping someone had some idea's for me. When I turn the stereo on there's no sound unless I push my e-brake slightly in and my signals stopped working inside and out, but the hazards still work fine. Thanks in advance for any idea's and or help.

Sounds like a bad or loose ground wire. IIRC, there's a ground wire location behind the drivers side kick panel. Should be several wires connected to one metal stud.

There is also a ground on the passenger side kick panel.

Default fuse box tap in come louse

Fuse box tap in come lose if anything you say parking brake affects it that’s were all the fuse wires are just above the pedal a wire must of dropped down and is catching on the pedal pulling the wires out… look under there and you will see the problem I bet.
