Hit 150k and going downhill

[AJ_KC]

I just hit 150k on my 2010 Limited and, I'm sure it's a coincidence, I'm having a slew electrical issues.

Here's what I'm dealing with:
- Driver brake light and blinker out but running lights still working.
- Keypad lighting up but not responding to touch
- ABS, Brake, and Traction control lights irregularly coming on.
- Driver side running board not working and making a loud obnoxious clicking type noise.
- A/C making clicking sounds - was mainly doing it at lower temps but is becoming more frequent.
- At one point I lost the A/C completely but thankfully it started functioning.

I'm at a loss here and don't know where to begin. I should probably take it in for troubleshooting and repairs but the budget says I should attempt to DIY some of these issues before going that route. If anyone has any suggestions on a place to start, I would greatly appreciate it.

Any lights come on in the dash? Maybe a scan tool/forscan.

Check the wiring connections throughout your vehicle as well as the fuses.

I just replaced the battery on it a couple months back. I don't believe there are any issues with it.

The ABS, Brake, and Traction Control lights will all come on at the same time but they're inconsistent. Everytime I turn the truck off they reset everytime I shut the truck off.

This is exactly how every dual filament bulb works. Simply replace the bulb. 4157.

That’s an indicator you have a bad wheel bearing somewhere. Mine did that on and off until I plugged in scanner and told me which hub assembly was bad.

I've replaced bulbs and even replaced the sockets that had some corrosion.

That's good to know. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on an ABS scanner.

You're looking for an OBD II scanner, ELM 27 that has MS-CAN and HS-CAN capabilities. Amazon or eBay is your best bet for them.
