96' accord ABS help!

[tonytn]

My ABS light just began flashing today and at first i thought it was just going nuts for a bit, but then after i drove around for a bit more, every time the ABS flashes the electricity in my car dies!
The flashing goes on for like 1-2 seconds at a time and during that time my rev meter, stereo and everything else dies.

Does anyone have this problem or knows anything about this? thanks!

check your battery terminals, make sure they are clean and tight, make sure the altenator power lead is OK as well.

check the ABS system for fault codes

hey, thanks for the help! i cleaned out the terminals of my battery and filled up the brake fluids and it's working fine now!

cool.

you should reset your ECU's to clear any weird codes it may have picked up.

Im guessing you had to remove the battery terminal to clean them so that should have reset the ABS and PGMFI if you did.
