2007 Chevrolet Suburban 5.3L with a host of issues...are they related?
I have a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban that has me at the end of my whits.
About a month ago, my wife got home from work (about an hour drive) and shut the truck off. About an hour later we went to leave the house and found out the running lamps and brake lights were on and there was no way to shut them off. I pulled any fuse I could find that might be related and found nothing to shut them off short of disconnecting the battery.
Two days later, the problem was gone with nothing being done to remedy it.
Fast forward a few weeks - now the stabilitrak and the traction control systems need serviced. Also the anti-lock brake light is on and that system doesn't appear to be functioning either.
We plan to get it to the mechanic. However, hadn't yet.
Now today, I was driving down the road at about 60mph when I get a low oil pressure warning. I pull over, shut off and make sure I have oil. Start it back up and everything was back to normal with the oil.
I am confused. Can most of this be caused by a faulty BCM? Am I facing like 200 different issues, or is there just one or two causing most symptoms?
EDIT: Forgot something: probably irrelevant but I am having issues with putting fuel in the truck too. It will only pump for a few seconds before tripping the stop.

I have read through many posts about the throttle bodies and the oil pressure sensors. I don't have a problem replacing some things, I just don't want to throw parts at it and was hoping someone could give me some direction to narrow it down.
