Electric problem, shortcut, radio, signal sound, reverse sensor

Chevrolet Traverse 2012 Lt, 3.6L, awd 122000 miles
My radio, turn signals sound( click,click), backup sound (beeb,beeb,beeb) don't work most of the time like 99% of the time, and ones in a blue everything just start working from nowhere while im driving, or sometimes when i turn the car on, and i have checked all the fuse and everything is good, the mechanic on the dealer said it is the fuse box, and i already changed and still doing the same, and now i got 2 good fuse box that works, the one inside the hood passenger side, and the one inside the car on the passenger side too, all the fuses are good and the fuse box are good too

It's most likely the fuse box under the hood the two bolts that go down to the center that holds the plug up to the bottom those you need to take them to lock washers cut them into a u-shape and smash them flat and then insert those beneath the head of those bolts so that way when you tighten it down it actually keeps those plugs and tight otherwise the bolts the threads aren't quite long enough on the on those bolts and it just doesn't pull the plugs up tight and creates a bad connection intermittently if you search through the threads on here I think you'll find one that covers this situation and explains it better

It could be that the sensor itself in the tire needs to be replaced.

My 2014 had this issue, my back tires’ rims were rusting and causing lots of air to get in. My local shop grinded them a bit and put stuff on it, but it happens to every car eventually due to grime and salts (michigan winters smh). They said itll come back eventually but my tires havent needed air since. Its been a few months.

For this you will need a tune up. The catalytic converters go out for many reasons. On the traverse most common is the spark plugs.

For this case it sounds like there is allot going on, based on the high miles I would take it to a certified mechanic to do a few test and they would be able to see exactly what is going on.

Changing the catalytic converters will not solve the issue, we need to know what caused them to go bad, they do not just go bad on their own.

If you cannot go to a mechanic, I would start with new spark plugs, replace all of the o2 sensors and remove and clean the catalytic converters. This will only do a temporary fix and or buy more time.

If you can share the codes that would help, especially the low voltage ones.

My fixed says (fuel tank pressure sensor) low voltage. I've changed fuel pressure senor on top of fuel tank. Fuel vapor canister under the hood. Spent like 400 parts and labor and it still is reading that. Check engine light is on so my keyless start won't work. Idk what to do.

Driver side dim Headlight goes off when it's dark out.

Chevrolet Traverse 2015  160000 miles
My dome lights do not come on when the door is opened and oddly my driver side dim headlight goes out when the daylight sensor indicates it's dark out. Odometer is also too dim during the day to read but when dark out brightens. Are all these connected to the daylight sensor or the driver side control panel? I've changed the bulb, replaced fuses and about ordered headlight electrical harness but thought I'd better narrow this in first.

Fyi do want matter what my headlight switch is on the problem presist.
