A few months ago, I started having the ABS/Traction Control/Wrench light issue that others have talked about here. It was intermittent -- only occasionally. At the same time, I noticed that sometimes when I locked the car, the horn sounded weak, like it was being smothered with a pillow.
Long story short: through luck and trial and error, I found that the horn was weak when the ABS and Traction Control lights came on and worked fine when those lights were off.
I did check the tone rings on the back -- no problem. I never did look into it further since it was intermittent and I couldn't find anything conclusive on here.
Now the dash lights and weak horn are a problem all of the time.
Can anyone think of a reason these issues would be related? I was wondering if they shared a ground and that was an issue, but I don't know where to look. It has warmed up here for a day, so I thought I'd look this afternoon.
