Default electrical issue

I am having a issue where every once in a while out of no where the ARS light , abs light, and brake light come on when driving also the light goes out on the ars button above the radio when this happens? also i lose power sometimes when i come to a stop light the gauge drops down to like 12 and also when i put the rear defroster on it does it as well? does this sound like some dirty grounds or something similar or connections somewhere?

the brake light issue could be a bad sensor on one of the wheels. that's not uncommon.

i THINK you can actually try cleaning them....but they are not too $$ to replace either.


as for the voltage dip...sounds like maybe a ground or a dying alt
