I took the + cable off battery and let sit overnight, lights still stay on after engine starts any body know how I can get these lights off ? Slamed both doors ajar light still on doors are not, ajar no check engine light..

  3. for the door ajar light, spray wd40 into the door latches, the door switch is in the latch, spray well and open and close the doors a few times . should take care of that problem.
    for the abs light if you do not have a code reader, I would take intoautozone or a parts store that offers free code reading

    How is your brake fluid looking? If its low your light will come on.

    Your abs light may just be the connections under your seats, Disconnect the wiring mounted under the seats, spray wd40 inside them and reattach them. That should work if the ABS light blinks then stays on after. The connections just need a bit of lube thats all

    Should be attached to the underside of the seat
     
  8. might have metal shavings over the abs sensor at the wheel, if you can't find hooligans connector take it to a brake shop they can pull the code

    Holy ****....My brain is friggin fried!!! The abs light may be due to a sensor in the hub being bad, not the connection under the seat...I was thinkin airbag for that...what a friggin tard I am!
