The abs light is not on. Is the speed sensor on a specific wheel? Since the bearings were replaced on the passenger rear wheel, I'm wondering if this could be related.

Cleaning the front anti lock sensors on my 2004 Sunfire seemed to help until the cruise control quit working entirely. Mechanic said it was the control unit after checking it for free when troubleshooting something else. Picked up another control unit at a junk yard off a 2005 and found both units contained a seized up white plug attached to a tape emanating from inside the module. After using a file to reduce the plug size ever so slightly, it freely slipped in and out up the cable housing where it attaches to the control unit. Cruise control has been working fine now for many months.

Maintenance & Repair
So we have a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire, 2.2 litre. Bought the car, used it not even 24 hours later the battery light came on, did a multimeter test, showed the alternator was bad, bought a new one and changed. Worked good for approx a week. Now the battery light comes on and off. When the battery light is on, the wipers are slow, the stereo quits working, when idling the rpm's will drop down and before stalling jump back up, all the lights on the dash will light up (battery, abs, e-brake, airbag etc.), the speedometer and tachometer will quit working also. ANY IDEA WHAT THIS COULD BE??? 3 Answers
