Few days back Brake,abs ,and traction lights came on with small degrees in power loss. Happened 5 times lasted few seconds on the highway. The next 2 days no issues, until today coming home on the parkway it happend again a few times then got worse.
In a 10 minute drive it continued to intermittently cut out with Abs,brake,traction + now tire light blinking and key light blinking and speedo would drop to 0. This would last 30 to 45 seconds and return to normal till I got off the highway.
any thoughts no lights on at all now?

Yep, i never have on either occasion (i have had two failures in 455,000 miles. You can ignore it for a few weeks like I did until it no longer drove, at which point I had to have it towed to a shop: get a scope on the output (probably high spikes) from a diode failure:check for connections that just came loose.
