vt berlina 99 radiator fans & dash lights always on/air con not work

[mdr]

im a new dude with very minor car experience (learning now though..).

problem started as intermittent but now always happening.

when i turn car on dash lights freeze, radiator fans come on and air con won't doesn't work (thermo fans blow uncooled air). it's accompanied by a 3 tone warning sound too (low to high tones).

i've changed fuses without change.

i haven't found this exact same problem anywhere online - about ready to take it to an auto tech - anyone suggest a trustworthy one in adelaide?

all suggestions welcome please.

it's the abs module, same thing just happened to mine.
find a refurbed one on ebay etc and swap it over, problem solved.

+1 on the ABS module. A guy on ebay does an exchange service for $165 or 175 i think.
A reco without exchange is 200+
