Re: ABS Light Comes on?!?!

["ffoiii" <fowen@uswest.net>]

I believe it was on the left rear tire.

I don't fully understand why there was an "additional" ring as all the work
on this problem has been done at the same shop.  Why would they have put an
extra one there in the first place?

This is also not the only problem that I've had with this car relating to
the electrical system, so there may be a more systemic problem that is
simply manifesting itself via the ABS light.  I've had to replace the Alarm
ECU and the intermittent wiper relay.  I get horrible feedback through the
radio/speakers when using a cell phone.  I can hear pops and clicks through
the speakers when turning on the windshield wipers, cruise control or the
power window button.

And this last one is my favorite:  every couple of weeks, my hazard lights
flash twice.  This occurs while driving and is independent of speed and
weather conditions.
