electrical gremlin freak out: radio/warning lights
2004 xjr 115k miles
Beginning with the park brake warning, my radio display goes on and off and sometimes keeps playing,. Warning lights include transmission, fault, park brake + ongoing suspension fault. Sometime momentary loss of power
and tranny in limp mode. Usually a restart fixes but sometime after turning off, trying to start by twisting key results in silence. I had the front bumper ground inspected and cleaned. Any thoughts?

UPDAte and many thanks for the responses and clues. After cleaning and checking the front grounds and checking the battery condition the condition persisted culminating in it dying while driving.
It just clicked when I tried to start it and there was a lonely wiper cycle. It would not go into neutral, so i could not get her off the road to safe place. i popped the trunk and inspected the battery and noticed that them pos. cable was
sure hot. I gave the battery a swat in frustration and the car started and I was able to get tp safety where i checked o see if the battery was also ht - it was not but there it was - staring me in the face - the batter ground (not neg. cable) was solos i could end tighten it. I did a proper job f that and no symptom for the last week. Enough to get encouraged. nNow if I get my arms around the suspension fault light thats been randomly on and off for 18 months...............
