ABS acting up.... sort of

Sup, well today when i was going home from volunteer, during the drive, the ABS light would turn on for like a quick 3 seconds and then you would see my mph guage drop real quick then RAISe back to normal.... like i was doing a 30, next thing i know it would drop down to 20 and then QUICKLY raise back all the way up to 30 mph.... and ALSO my radio would just shut off and when the ABS lights turn off the radio would work again... this happened for like around 3-8 times during the drive back and the drive was less than 20 mins... I parked the car and let it sit for around 1 hr.... went to my friends house and during that trip nothing came up at all... so i was just wondering if i should be worried or anything. Thanks for answering and reading my very noob question...

judging by the way it seems like the abs light, radio, and speedometer all spazzed out and then came back maybe you had a ground in some of your wiring...? i'd maybe look at some wiring diagrams and see if you can find the lines that those systems are on and check it out. thats just my guess but i'm no mechanic. haha

I dont think its the alternator... When my alternator went I wasnt losing power or anything.Just my lights would flash and I had a really bad wineing noise. WHen I would go from P to D4 it would get louder and what not.good luck with your problem brooooo

i had a similar problem and i found it to be some sort of electrical issue from my aft-cat o2 sensor. it also killed my alternator. That cost 100 bucks-ish, but easy to replace. If you have played with any parts lately, tinker with them again to see if it changes anything. If not, try to make it to autozone to have them check your alt/battery for free
