3 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 01/12/2020

Radio works sometimes and you can't use you hands-free phone. Lights interior and running lights won't turn off until you go down the road a bit but when you shut the truck off, the lights stay on and run your battery down. Also when you swap out your trans oil you start having shifting problems. I'm so over it. Thanks.
