Guys Right now i am having a little problem....Ill tell you the weather conditions...its cloudy rained last night and it is still wet enough that there is water on my car and very humid. Well with that being said the other night my battery died and ever since then i have been having problems. I have the battery completely charged back up but my anti lock brake light is still on and stays on. Sometimes before when i used to start it, it would stay on but as soon as i shut off the car and started it again, it would go away.

The other thing is when i started my car this morning...it made a loud sound like metal was sliding against eachother...kind of like a loud sqweaky noise...Also at this time my volt meter stayed down so it was just like it was running off the battery...I quickly shut off the car and started it again...It made the noise again but for not as long and the car ran fine besides the anti-lock brake light. Now i can hear this sqweaky noise faintly and it sounds like it is coming from the front end area of the engine. Now my harmonic balancer looks like it is wobbling and i felt some of the rubber and it seems like it may start to be seperating. I cant exactly pinpoint where the sound is coming from so i dont know if it is definately the balancer..

Please help me with this

check the alternator, water pump. smog pump, ac compressor, power steering pump to see if you can hear it.

For the ABS, you can pull the code. It very well could be a wheel sensor code (I get one when I break 'em loose in the wet).

I agree with the above-thoughts. Carefully use a scope to listen to each one and then I'd remove the belt and spin each pulley by hand and see if one sounds funny. You can grab the outer ring of the balancer and see if you can move the outer-ring by hand. Look behind the balancer for where it might have been hitting and making noise.

Good luck.

I got rid of the abs light....I wound up doing brake checks from 40-0 and it wound up going away...The noise im still not sure of...it happened to once before in humid wet conditions but not as bad as this morning

When i was leaving work...the abs light came back on...so where can i get a code reader?

The balancer will look like its wobbling even if its fine. If your balancer was bad, it wouldnt make noise either, the car would shake like crazy. Thats not to say that its not about to go bad, but its not causing your noise. Id look at the alternator.

I agree about balancers lookin outta whack when they're ok. But if the balancer has longitudinal run-out, there can be interferance and it can make noise.
