porcupine73 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 abs light comes on and stays on when i drive with my headlights on Very very good chance your alternator is dying. The ABS light and some other indicator lights get their ground through the alternator field circuit, so if the alternator is going flaky these lights may come on or flicker. This is definitely something to check out right away or otherwise prepare for to avoid being stranded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 ABS = dying altenator ABS + brake = impeding doom ABS + Brake + Battery = pull over NOW Get your charging system load tested. Make sure they test it at 2000 RPM with everything on in the car. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
