Hey Auto experts,
I have had this problem since two weeks now.
Basically I have bad tail light indicator on the dash and bad brakes indicator on the dash some times and some times not. Both come on at the same and turn off at the same time. But when the dash is lit, the car wont crank. Couple of tries later (15-20mins) later the warnings are gone and car starts.
This happens every time only in two gear positions i.e Par k and Neutral.
After the said time gap, the two warnings start blinking. That's when the engine will crank. And after couple of tries, the engine comes to life.
I have checked all the fuses, checked the battery, alternator, tail lights for lose wires But couldn't find anything solid.

Check the wiring harness in the trunk where it runs next to the trunk hinge. That bundle is commonly frayed and shorting or broken.
