It probably means your alternator needs to be replaced ! Get your self a volt meter an check voltage at the battery with engine running . Should show 13.1 to 14.1 volts if charging !

Rick, u will need to take your car to get serviced. If your ac is not working properly it might be something inside that needs to be looked at. You might need to replace your heater box.

Try cleaning your ABS senors. They are located on the back side of your brake roters. The each senor reads how fast each tire is turning and if there is a big difference between the four your ABS will kick on.

SOURCE: ABS light on 1999 Fored Expedition

There is a problem with the ABS (Anti-Lock Brakes). Unless you have the knowledge to diagnose and repair this problem I suggest you seek help from a trusted mechanic or your Volvo dealer. Your ABS may not be working correctly but your normal brakes will still work.

My dashboard lights (battery emergency brake light & air bags) are flashing on my dashboard while driving but go out when I come to a stop on my 2001 santa fe

Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM, SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

What does it mean when your battery light comes on?

All cars have a battery light on the dashboard that is designed to warn you if the recharging system fails. A simple circuit looks at the voltage that the alternator is producing, and turns the battery light on if it is low. The battery light indicates a battery charging problem. If the battery light comes on and stays on while you are driving, the most common cause is a broken alternator belt. Total failure of the alternator is another possibility.

Test alternator. With engine running, voltage at battery should be at least 14 volts. If not, remove alternator and have it tested at parts store. Low voltage could be setting all 3 lights. Let us know if you have more questions.

STARTS BUT CUTS OUT WHEN PUT IN GEAR

The problem was not a problem at all, apparently it was the fact that when my vehicle was parked in the driveway which is on a bit of a slope. That caused the fuel to shift in the tank causing my problem. When I backed the vehicle out of the driveway and got on level ground the problem corrected itself and everything was fine. This is the only time I have ever had this problem since I've gotten the car. Also another indication I did'nt catch initially was that the low fuel light came on when I tried to start the vehicle earlier.

2001 ford expedition

This is all electrical. Sounds like a fairly big job. Blinkers and ABS usually run from same fuse and therefore same wiring. Not sure of the 4x4 light. But Id say if you get a wiring diagram and folloe from the 3 items back there would be a common wore and id say in your case this wire is loose, or semi broken. However I think it would be less stress if you simply go to an auto electrician, Good luck, hope this helps.
