While cruising about the ABS/TCS lights come on across my dash and DIC screen. Hmmmmmm. It would not reset off the dash and kept reappearing on the DIC screen. Headed for a gravel road as pert near impossible for me to lock up the tires on pavement in that car. But, finding a gravel road and check to see if the ABS system was working or not. No, all tires slid to a stop. Oh well!
Getting home decided to wait till morning to get codes about the system failure. So, next morning , out to garage and car to get codes. What, showed one code on the ABS system but no number of the kind of code. Oh well, cleared that code, plus one other on an outside rearview mirror that was in history from disturbing it while cleaning.
Then, gonna start the car to see if code popped up again. What, does not turn engine over fast enough to start. Hmmmmmmm. Set up large charger and charge battery on high for about 15 mins and attempt to start again. Success this time. So, Volt meter in the car showing 14 V charging. Get my VOM meter out and check at the battery and ditto, 14 V there so know the charging system is working. Battery time!
Autozone to the rescue with a new battery for the car. The young lady tested the old battery and it was bad so got my new 175.11 buck and cents battery and home and put it in the Vette and hooked up a Battery tender to bring it to full charge.
Next morning it's green light on the Battery Tender so when afternoon rolls around time to test and see if all is good with the Vette. 97 miles later, roaming about the roads, no codes or warning so the Vette is back to normal.
Weather is very not nice with one day 70F and the Next at the mid 40's and windy. And both wet days. And with a 50% chance of rain this afternoon, we'll see where the radar has the rains before we cast ourselves to the Winds of Fate. ;-)
