Default electrical issues

ive got an 08 lacrosse super, and sometimes i turn on my fog lights and the dash indicator wont come on, the lights still work fine, except the indicator wont turn on till i hit a bump, so im guessing theres a loose connection somewhere. does anyone know where the wiring to the lights/indicator are, and where i should start looking?, also sometimes the abs and traction control shut off, until i shut the car off and restart then it works fine again, i dont know if this is related to the other electrical issue.

Hello Matt,
I think it is amazing that you have taken interest in the LS4 community!

With that said and without any bashing, I have 2 questions that I think this community would like to see a response to.

1- The 4T65E-HD problems

2- The DOD/AFM issues... lifters and oil burning in particular

Any response would probably go a long way,

Thank You

Take your car to the dealership. Do not give out any personal info on this site. It's not necessary.
I am a Tech in training, and GM does not admire or respect the DIY'er. Goodluck!
