As posted above, is this a "low charging"/battery problem? It literally ONLY happens on decent drives with A/C ON. It has never happened, and still does not happen if the A/C is off. I have the original battery but have never had a problem with cold starts, or starting the car after sitting up to a week. However, now that I think about it, the A/C blower seems to fade in and out at anything over half power.

Thanks,
Steve

(I was just coming here to start a new topic, but figured I would throw this one to this thread)

Are there any suggestions to this? I have more to add...the abs/dsc lights and guages not working doesn't appear to be a problem of the A/C is on the first bar.

here another trick that i to do all the time to turn off those lights, open all the doors and trunk then closed it one by then start the car again all the lights turn off. And for the clunking noise that is bad stabilizer sway bar links.( for the sway bar links noise usesurely make noise when the car go over the bump or slightly turn left or right)

I got the same thing before, I found the battery wasn't taking a charge anymore and was degrading. seems like the low voltage causes those porblems. After replacement it all went away. When was the last battery replaced? After I replaced my it was there but after driving around it goes away. Good luck.

Problem with all three yellow lights(brake, abs and antispin-I think) lights that is- do I have to go to the dealer to sort out which ABS wheel sensor to change?

Are you taking about the brake pad sensors I just replaced. I am not sure what the ABS wheel sensors are?

I am not familiar with the wheel sensors. Where are they located? Are they easy to change out?

I have the same problem (ABS,DSC) lights on constantly, changed front right/driver side wheel sensor, fault will clear but then come back after a day or two. I then figured out i was blowing fuse number 51(10 amp) for abs, so i have changed it 3-4 times in the past week! any ideas? shorting out? has anyone had this issue? ps; lights still on and speedometer doesnt work

My car is doing the same thing. Did you ever get the correct diagnosis?
