Default Weird Electrical Problems, anyone else have these?

I just bought a 2000 4.6 HSE RR and I love it. It has 50K miles and seems to run great. It came with these 22" wheels that seem to be just rediculous but it was a great deal. I have all kinds of weird Electrical Problems.
1. ABS Fault
2. Traction Failure
3. Doors unlock themselves
4. e-brake on light on when it is not engaged
5. sunroof open light when it is not
6. when driving the abs fault comes on and the speedometer drops to zero and then resumes back to where it was before.
7. took it to the shop they cleared all the alarms and they just came back again.

Seem like nothing is wrong though. Please advise.

Have your battery tested. Rangies eat batteries when they get weak...and when that happens, the Range has allll sorts of wild issues sometimes. Start with the free check at Advance or Autozone. If the battery is indeed dead, make sure you buy a good battery...again..these trucks are real tough on batteries!

Welcome to the forum!
