2004 grandprix gtp. Abs light, traction control light, break light, and variable effort steering light all cone on. And the steering gets harder but the power steering still works. Any thoughts?

Everything still works fine, but the steering gets a little harder. And the lights don't come on right away

Check the fluid for the steering. If it is ok, ou may have a failing steering wheel movement sensor that has gone bad.

As far as the abs, trac, you have a failure in the abs system that needs to be repaired. When it is repaired, the trac system will come back on line.
