Electrical Gremlins
I've never had to post on here before because someone has always beaten me to an issue and everyone is awesome about helping solve it. Having said that, I think I have a new one. There's a lot going on so I'll just list it out:
1. 1295 code (brake switch) intermittently when I put the car in reverse or turn on headlights
2. 1295 code when I use right blinker for longer than 5 seconds or so
3. Cruise control disengages when I use left blinker
4. DRL's turn off and fog lights come on when I hit the brakes.
I know nothing about electronics and anything more involved than unplugging a wire harness would be tricky for me. I could probably swap out a new brake switch or turn signal switch on my own but anything involving voltmeter testing gives me the ******. I've recently cleaned the grounds using Bill Curlee's information and had the EBCM repaired by ABSfixer after a 1214 code. I don't think it is either of those things. Anyone got any ideas?

I think I would go check the ground connections. There's a bunch of places where the ground connections are located so I can not help with that part, but when unrelated electrical things start going bad, you need to find the common thing between them and that would be the ground connection.
Good luck with it.
