Sounds like you have a major short somewhere with all these things going on, have you looked at fuse block?

Jak, I think NoLimitzR1 was talking about checking the fuse block itself. A lot of these start to corrode from underneath the block and cause a lot of different problems. When mine went bad, my parking lights would not turn off. I took my fuse block apart and cleaned up the corroded part.

oh really. well i never would have even thought of that. it has to be something other than the damn sensors since i have replaced them. just seems odd that all those lights are on and at first it was only the abs and brake lights coming on every now and then. then they stayed on and the next day the airbag light came on. i am really to the point of sticking a rag in the gas tank and saying **** it. right after i put full coverage on her of course though. lol. i will check out the box tomorrow for corrosion. i only pray to god that is what it is. any more help and advice is still wanted.

Does anyone know the solution to what seems to be becoming a common issue. Not sure if my mileage has anything to do with it either but I am sitting at a little over 200,000.

Also as for your Tranny shift points could be because it can't see road speed and fine tune the shift as its running on a set value

Did you actually take the fuse box apart? You have to drill three plastic tabs that hold it together out and carefully pry it apart.
