Nope nothing spilled in there.
After work yesterday I took it for a spin. 35 MPH same deal. Flashing triangle and no more speed or throttle. Pulled over, turned vehicle off, restarted and it drove fine. Drove it for 15 minutes no issue's , no warning lights.
He heads back to college 3 hours away at the end of the week and not sure how to proceed now .................

Oh, sort of accidentally, I think it is just the ABS motor brushes worn down, so it has had the side effect of switching on all the warning lights and turning off most of the electronics! It drives so much better on road now that I haven't tried fixing it, but low range and traction control don't work either so I have to be careful driving off road, and only do gentle stuff. I think it is time for an overhaul and fixing lots of stuff though now!

Hi, I tried taking the light bulbs out of the dash console but then the car went into limp mode, so I just put up with the warning lights all showing. If the Yaw rate sensor goes, the car can do stupid things like slam the brakes on on the highway. It seems generally cheaper to get another car for parts, or use the old one for parts!

Or you could try plug-a-part at a much lower cost - how about $50 for a used yaw rate sensor?
