SO, yesterday my car wouldnt start in the morning...(7 degrees out) but previously the night before while driving home from work my ABS light turned on signaling that the ABS was now off... then my airbag light turned on... then my stereo and head unit turned off and the dash lights dimmed... I got home fine, which led to the morning of not starting.

I replaced the battery last night... and it started fine this morning, the battery light came on but I pressed the gas and it turned off. I got to class fine this morning, but while leaving the parking lot my ABS light came back on signaling my ABS was now off again... and its snowing, so I definately know that the ABS is off.

Anyone have any ideas???

I just got a new right front wheel bearing about 3 months ago and all new tires if that means anything...

Altenator?
Tire problems?
Bearing problems again??

Thanks.

Possible the connector at the CV shaft came un done. There are sensors at all 4 wheels on the vehicle. Most likely that one that just got replaced got disconnected or broken.

My Z24 just had the ABS fail. The ABS Module went bad. Though I had the ABS light along with Trac off and BRAKE. But the ABS module may have gone bad. Don't worry a brand new module is $800... Or look for one used. I found one for $50. If you can't figure it out, I'd say take it to a dealer.

SO... More problems now.... and of course its cold out and snowing...

While I was driving again my gauges all went down to zero and all of my lights on my dashm were flashing on and off a couple of times...

my car was still moving tho... after they stopped flashing it started losing power and revving back up and it did this repeatedly for about a half mile...

I pulled into my apt which was about a mile from when the extra problems started... Now my check engine light is on and my ABS are still inactive...

And now.... I shall just not drive.:banghead: :confused: :crying:

get your alternator tested . Check the connections to be sure they are clean and tight .
Not too dispute what others have said but you have to many electrical issuses going on to be just bad ABS. Had a friend with same type issues car finally quit .It was the Alternator for her . Good luck

I was thinking maybe altenator... because my check battery light comes on right after my car is started and stays on until I give it gas...

You`ve got a new battery and you`ll use that juice till it`s dead then car will quit. Go to Autozone and they will load test your alternator for you ,I do believe it is a free service with them . To Me this sounds like classic alternator failure.

Check your alternator.
Check the connections at your battery terminals for tightness and corrosion.
Check the grounds to make sure they aren't corroded.
