PLZ help car has some weird problems! - SRT Forums

Well last night at 2am the car died on me on the middle of the highway! I was driving and all the sudden my ABS light came on and my car lost power. I tried to start it again but there was no juice at all coming from the battery!

So thats weird because the baterry had no power at all! So I tried jumping it but so cigar! So at this point I am thinking it might be the altenator, but one last jump and the car turns on

Ok so I start driving home and the car runs fine until the ABS light comes on again! It remains on but every time the light would come on the car would start struggeling and wants to turn off! The car drove back 30 mins to my house last night which left me thinking that it couldn't be the altenator!\

So 3 days ago I took the battery to autozone for a quick check because I thought it was acting weird every time this darn ABS light would turn on which started turning on about a week ago out of the blue! And was told that the battery was 100% perfect!

So can anyone help? Why is this ABS light doing this? I tried searching but it wont let me search anything with less than 4 letters

Oh by the way the car is not throwing any codes!

Thanks

Similar thing happened to me once. It was due to a loose ground.

ok so it may be a faulty battery or a loose ground. I am getting of work in about two hours and I am going to try to figure it out. The whole ground thing could have something to do with it because I have an aftermarket alarm and its been acting a little weird lately.

Thanks again guys, any more suggestions?
