I have had several electrical problems with this vehicle. The ABS sensor has been replaced, fuses are continuosly blowing, several electrical wires have been replaced in the shift column, the turn signal switch had to be replaced because it was corroded, the battery has been replaced 4 times. Also the low coolant light flashes intermitently even though the radiator and tank are full. He ABS light has been on for at least a year and the mechanic is unable to find the cause. Brakes are in working order and all sensors are good. Now I am having difficulty starting on hot days, the starter clicks but the engine will not start, after several tries it will then start( about 5 tries), and today I seem to be having problems with the transmission. While entering an intersection from a stop sign I lost power. The engine was running at a top of 2rpm's and could not get over 10 miles per hour. The mechanic still need to give a diagnosis on this latest problem but siad it may be a circuit problem since touching the underhood driver side circuit box caused the car to stall and restart.

ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
Brakes lo trac light came on, the brake pedal dropped at least 1/2 inch, and the antilock began pulsating. The road was dry. The car stopped normally whenever the ABS light was on.
As I reported to the federal safety agency on 22 jan.,'98, the ABS is defective at slow very slipery conditions. Apparently this is well recognized as the new cadillac 2000 advertises a "new side slip rate control that applies both front brakes to slow things down" this would have prevented my rolling thru an intersection with both this car and a similar experience with my ABS equipped 1988 cadillac deville. Both of these cars and all the other ABS equipped gm cars are just waiting for slippery road accidents due to a total lack of any ability to stop these cars.lots of brake pedal just no wheel braking. The new cadiillac addresses the problem but I want my cars fixed also.
While pulling out of driveway onto the highway, right there in the middle of the highway the ABS brakes locked and the brake light came on. Then after giving the auto some gas, the anti-lock brake lights came on. There were both warning lights on at once.
