First off I would like to say hi, since I am new to this forum. Anyway I had something really weird happen to me. I was driving my 2000 Mustang Gt with 31,500 miles on it when the ABS light came on. Seconds after that the car sputtered and died. I put the car in park and started it right back up. As I was driving back home the ABS light came on as well as the right turn signal and they both stayed on. The car drove fine after the time it died. I think the rough idle maybe due to some bad gas, but thats just a guess. However, now that the ABS and turn signal light are on the right front turn signal does not work and neither does that head light. I thought possibly fuses but those look ok. Is there any insight to what may have caused all of these things to happen at the same time? How would I go about fixing this? Thanks for any help in advance.

Here is an update to what is going on with this problem. I ran the car during my lunch break and the ABS light did not go on as well as the turn signal light. I tried the turn signal and it works fine. However when I turn the headlights on the ABS light and turn signal light goes on. At this point the turn signal doesnt work and the headlight doesnt work. Is it possible that a burned out headlight could cause this to happen? I have not taken a look at the relays under the hood to see if any of these are burned out. Any help would be great.

Try clearing the memory. It's worth a shot. Disconnect the postiive battery cable. Turn the key on and off 3 times. Leave battery disconnected for 30 seconds. Reconnect and see what happens.

You may have a bad relay or the headlight switch may be bad. Sounds like something is shorting somewhere.
