Default Weird weather = weird lights

We have been having some weird weather lately and with the weird weather have come some weird intermittent lights.

First I got the three amigos when driving in he rain a few weeks ago. This are intermittent and can be off for days then appear for a drive then disappear.

SRS light seems to pop up during warmer weather and now that it's cold it might show up while driving and disappears shortly thereafter.

When it's below 40 and I start in the morning I'll almost always get my blinking M & S lights. Turn off and back on and they are gone.

90% of my drive time these lights are off but I'm curious what about the weather may be triggering this fun display. Should I start with voltage and work from there?

Thanks!

I have no clue what's up with that. I have noticed now that the weather is colder, that when I press my turn signal it takes like 10 seconds before it actually starts blinking haha. Once it warms up though I have no problem. I can't figure it out.

Sounds like you may have an issue with cold cranking amps on the battery. If the battery gets to low it can cause the m+S lights to flash. Drive up to the auto parts store and get them to check the battery for free. The lights will also blink if the xyz switch is failing but with colder weather comes battery replacements if it is start to fail so check that first. Not really sure about the 3 amigos in the rain, but I'm sure someone will chime in.It could all honestly be related to the battery.
