So ABS light was intermittently coming on now coming on for more extended periods and occasionally will lose speedo and ABS definitely isn’t working when lit up
Battery did struggle to start the other day so wondering if that’s the cause or is it likely to be something as simple as wheel speed sensor but then would expect to lose speedo completely no?
Have you had your tyres changed/puncture repaired recently? They can be easily damaged in that - I would be 95% sure it’s the sensor. It could be loose/have some dirt under the rubber boot, I’d check that before replacement. As I’m sure you already know, ABS works off the speed sensor to calculate relative wheel speeds - this is why it must be a sensor issue
I know from various car forums that low batteries throw up all sorts of error messages. On one forum I frequent the trouble-shooting advice for any error messages is to renew the battery first; they are not expensive in the scheme of things.
At the very least give it a proper overnight charge.
Well I got your diagnosis very wrong then! Sorry to hear about your woes. I’m with RAC and my experience with them has also been very long wait with the car ('04 Saab 9-5, died on me 2 miles after buying it, been fine since)
My bike regulator/rectifier has been threatening to quit on me for years now. She blows bulbs like they are paying for it. Was riding down to Portsmouth after work the other week, pulled out of fuel station on a very dark A3 and my headlight decided to quit, then revive itself after 10 miles. This morning the oil light came on for the first 20 miles or so, then gave up on its whinging. One day she’ll die, but hopefully not today!
We should have guided you there first really, it’s always the first thing to check with an electrical fault, they have a talent for working themselves loose. Occassionally they can get corroded too, same result
