Does your speedo only freeze at a certain speed? I had a problem with my tach where the needle would freeze/stick around 2k rpms only when the truck warmed up inside the cab. Tuned out the hub that attaches the needle to the cluster was rubbing on the instrument panel faceplate. All I had to do was pull the needle out slightly and the problem was solved. That wouldn't explain your blinker issues though, idk. My problem turned out to be mechanical but yours definitely sounds electrical

Take off each ground, and use a piece of 40-60 grit sandpaper and just clean up each mounting point as well as the eye-loop connections and reconnect them... that will verify if it is a ground problem or not.

That is definitely a possibility. Have it all replaced and let us know.

Might be some other sensors having some issues... I would see if you can get a dealer to take a ride with you while logging the computer inputs and outputs to see what sensor is giving you problem...
That would definitively tell you what the issue most likely is.
I wouldn't risk it doing the DIY Diagnosis anymore, specially with the brakes giving you problems like that... because you never know when you'll really need those brakes to work correctly...
