What the hell? Does it do it just sitting there when you turn the key? Or like when you hit the gas also

the abs light and brake light now remain on and the air bag light comes on when the speedo drops out too.

On top of the rear diff is a speed sensor take it out and clean off the metal shavings and put it back ya may get lucky and that would fix it otherwise ya have to replace the sensor. That is the problem.
