  • Car trouble?

    I drove my Corsica tonight and the headlights flickered when I hit the brake...not dimmed...flickered. Been doing that but I paid special attention to it. I was cruising along and coming to my exit. I hit the brakes and the (ABS) light came on...and stayed on. I pulled into a driveway and the car cut off for a split second and "restarted" itself. I left it running. The next block the ABS light went off and no more headlight flicker. Made it home no problem. When I was loading stuff into the trunk I did notice the exhaust smelled like rotten eggs a little. No driveability problem or lack of power or check engine light. Any ideas?

    Steve,

    This sounds bad man.

    You need to trade that car in on a Festiva with over 100,000 miles.

      I would make sure all your grounds are tight.

        I had new hoses put on last week...maybe they bumped something. I have no idea where the grounds are or if they are tight! I DO know what a ground is and an idea where they are. Will check those. Thanks.

          Yep, check the grounds. Grounds for getting another Festiva! HAA!

          Focustiva: Because I was told it was was impossible to fit a Focus bumper on a Festiva.

            LOL...I had the alternator checked and it was good. The battery was five months old...and bad...held only to 10 when under a load and scanner diagnosed it as bad. I upgraded for $28 and got full credit for the new battery. Hope that works...so far so good.
