Brake light and speedo not working may indicate ABS sensor fault - not sure about the other issue.

thanks for reply update everything back to normal this morning I'm wondering if dampness could be the cause as the windscreen is wet and steamed up first thing in the morning although everything is back to normal this morning i have no doubt it will return if anyone has experienced this problem let me no please

George, your location says Alexandria. Is that West Dumbartonshire or Egypt? If Scotland, have you checked that your plenum isn't flooded?
