Hi mortons10,

Seems the DRL control unit is bad causing the lights to stay on even after the engine is turned OFF.

Check the ground circuit connections for the DRL at right kick panel.

The ABS lights coming on intermittently can be due to the handbrake/fluid level low indicator light staying on while driving. Check the brake fluid level in master cylinder reservoir.

The tachometer not working when lights are turned on indicates a possible fault with a ground circuit.

If the E brkae light stays on, the ABS would come on after some driving. Did you check the brake fluid level in master cylinder reservoir?

Check the ground circuit at the right kick panel and behuind headlights on inner fender panel.
