Hey all, First time poster long time lurker, I’ve got a 2003 VY SPAC 3.8 Eco and I’ve had this problem for a while now So just a brief summary, I get an abs warning on the dash and my cluster switches off and the car dies no power steering or brakes and obviously that’s not right, I’ve posted on FB groups before but never really had a straight answer, so far I’ve ruled out voltage issues as I’ve replaced the alternator and battery and found a few grounds that were not grounded properly which I’ve fixed as they were causing problems of there own, But this ABS fault keeps popping up and shutting the car off during travel and it’s obviously dangerous as I drive on a national highway to get to work every day, Just wondering if anyone’s had similar issues and what the fix what it is! Cheers all
