This car was my grandfather's and has only 45,000 miles.....I inherited the car and expect my kids to put about 10,000 miles/year on it.

While driving at highway speeds, the radio quit working, warning lights(brake, open door & seatbelt) came on and EVIC display quit working. This was several weeks ago. The warning lights go off & on at will (same with radio). The EVIC display will work one time when ignition key turned on; but, won't the next time....everytime the EVIC comes on, all data is cleared...even when the EVIC works several times in a row, data is cleared (time, mileage, etc all resets).

The most unsettling thing is the brake lights. The car has anti-lock brakes. I have bled the lines. I have looked around for loose connections.

I am at my wits end....any clues?

This sounds like a fusible link located somewhere off the main(positive) side of the battery. Maybe where the battery cable connects to the starter or off of the main power wire from the alternator or voltage bus bar.
