Re: 96 Cavalier 3rd Alternator in 2yrs

i dont know whats causing it, but i know its a common problem on these cars, which is whey i paid $30 more for the lifetime warranty when i bought mine, as far as your abs light goes, mine did the same thing, mine did it because when you start your car, that first foot or 2 your car moves your abs does something (like it does a really small test then kicks on) that uses ALOT of power from the battery, since your bad battery/alternator isnt making ALOT of power, your abs senses that halfway through this so called "test" and it just backs out and doesnt kick on, causing the light, so once you get the battery/alternator figured out, theres a very good chance your abs problem wont exist anymore
