Problem with dash lights
 

Alright, it started yesterday, after im driving my car for about 10-15 min my lights on the dash come on, the Anti-Lock light, Service Engine soon, and the Trac Off. this has probably been discussed before, but idk what to put in for search, so any help is greatly appreciated. Is this something i can fix myself? cause im FINALLY bringing my car in today to get my LIM leak fixed. so if it isnt a problem i can fix i can tell my mechanic about it and see what he can do.

thanks.

If you are going to get your LIM fixed, just see if he will take a look at it for ya and just see what the problem is... I'm not sure what it is... I never had that problem *knock on wood*...

Its a VSS code, you need a new hub assembly.

how much will that run me? and if i keep driving with the lights on will it do anything to the car?

no. is the bearing loud? You have some time. If you do it yourself, the part is around 100-150. If not, expect double for a shop to do it.

can i get this part online?? if i can, can u put a link up to where i can find it. Nothing seems to be wrong with my car, other than the LIM, i dont feel anything, or hear anything. I can probably do this myself (with the help of my step dad), but is it hard to do yourself?

Hub assembly are not too hard. Its behind the brake rotor.

Recommended tools: Impact Wrench and Air Hammer.

this is Billy we are talking about, the kid that painted his maroon car's engine bay with blue paint, do you really want him playing with air tools?

get the part at any parts store. If you are lacking on mechanical knowledge, or get stressed out changing the oil or fuel filter, you may want to have someone else do it.

Are all the dash lights blue? :lol:

Sorry kid, but I doubt you're going to live this one down, at least you don't get bent outta shape like some people ;)

I replaced one hub a long time ago, but it was under warranty. I might have one going now, but IDK yet

haha, yea i know nobody will ever let me live that one down.

Anyways, like i said...my stepdad would help me:rolleyes2: i think i might just call the mechanic, tell him about it, see how much it would be. if its too much, me and my step dad will do it.

at least you said you would attempt to do it. That's more than a lot of people. Some people think you need a professional for everything. I told my landlord/mother-in-law I would hook up the new stove in the house and she almost flipped because it's gas and she thinks I'll blow the place up. I mean seriously, it's only one gas line and a plug, but hey, she's the landlord so if she wants to pay, that's her dime. Don't be affraid to try but don't be affraid to admit when you're over your head either.

haha, lol that sounds like a woman for ya. ha.

now is this directly behind the brake rotor? or is it behind the rotor somewhere, a little farther back?

and I was just about to give you credit for saying smarter things

and yea, i would like to work on it myself to learn new things. i mean, i do wanna be a mechanic:lol: i think my step dad might just call the mechanics and let him know.

lol, u dont get what im trying to say???? im just asking if its right behind the rotor, or farther back.

no I got it, you just made it easy to bust your balls.

lol, yea i liked how u left the last part out. lmao

just practicing to be a member of the press

ive had the same lights going off for 3 yrs now and not a screech from my hub assembly. bearings still sound fine. ppl say thats what the problem is but i havent had those tell tale signs of my bearings making noise. ive given it up to bad luck.
