'99 Grand AM GT h.o.

I went on a long drive the other day and while I was driving the infamous warning beep came on, and by golly. The 'Trac Off' and 'ABS' light both light up.
I read the manual and it says try shutting of the car and starting it back up. Did this, stopped for a bit. Then every once and awhile the 'Low Trac' light would come on(note: not the 'Trac off' light) even when I was on dry pavement. After that it stayed on the rest of the drive home.
The next day it wasn't there. Poof, like magic. But oh no, now every time I drive to work atleast once the 'low trac' light comes on.
I was told by another '99 owner, that it's a loose wire or bad connection on the front wheel somewhere. Faulty manufacturing or something along that line.
If someone has experianced this or nows how I go about fixing, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.
Oh yeah. When the 'Trac off' and 'ABS' lights come on, I actually lost both.

I've Seen Many G/a Do This,normally It Happens More When The
Vehicle Is Turning.it Caused From The Front Wheel Speed Sensor Harness Streching Causing A Interment Connection.
What You Can Do Is Unplug The Sensor (it Is Around The Area Of The Caliper) Then Follow The Harness Back Behind The Splash Sheild And You Well Find 3 Or 4 Silver Harness Retainers
Unclip The Harness And Pull It Closer To The Sensor.it Do Not Take Much Only Like A Quarter Inch.if It Still Comes On You Well Probaly Have To Take It To The Dealership.
