The abs and brake warning lights illuminate, temperature gauge, gear gauge and speedometer not working. This happens intermittently and, when it does, the ac does not work. The problem began with the abs and brake lights. Over time, the other gauges and the ac became involved. When these warning lights go off and the gauges work, the ac also works. I am told the brake actuator needs to be replaced.
