    Yesterday all the sudden all lights in dash that deal with breaks went on. As soon as I start driving they come on. Drives the same sounds the same and all fluids are good. Any ideas?

    Do you use your e-brake often? My rig did this one time when I used the e- brake to park on a steep hill. I let the brake free and the brake light on the dash stayed on. I ended up just tightening the brake cable up and ive never seen it again. Maybe it was a fluke but it could be worth a shot

    Or maybe try loosening it? Could be causing it to be too tight on one of the brake drums setting off a wheel speed sensor:notsure:

    I don’t use the E brake often but it’s strange because all of those lights come on at once.

    Might have to go thru and check all of the grounds that are in the circuitry. I see you have an 09 which means it's starting to age and things come loose every now and then. I have an 08 and I'm battling a headlight issue where the low beams are brighter than my high beams.

    It's the Infamous Christmas tree. The most common cause for this is a bad positive connection on your battery. Try removing cables cleaning clamp and pole and reattach.

    Ok I will give that a shot today, I did actually jump my neighbors car before this all happened so that could be it. Thank you for the input I appreciate it!

    Thanks chris! So I disconnected the battery cleaned everything up and they same on right away after I started it. If there’s no check engine light on it won’t throw a code so I’m not sure where to take it besides a dealership.

    I would check under the vehicle and see if any of the speed sensors, or abs lines are damaged, or on plugged.

    Chris said it. My next guess was going to be the abs line. I have pinched mine before in my coilovers and got the Christmas tree.

    I had a problem with my traction control EBS light as well. I looked for what could be causing the issue online and found a youtube video explaining it my be the wheel sensors. Sure enough, when I took it to the shop it was a bad sensor in back wheel. Give that a try.

    Pro automotive scanner can identify exactly which wheel speed sensor is defective.

    Welcome @Metmancd ! Not a difficult job unless the wheel speed sensors are rusted in like post# 15

    Post a few pics of your JKU and future mods to come
