ABS light on, driving on road, engine cuts...what gives?
so I crank up the 4runner to have the abs light on, werid whining noise that does not go away after 10 seconds (i cut off engine after that) with the lights flickering. whining noise sounded like its coming from the cd player. start it up, same thing. cut it off...same thing blah blah. so after several start/cut off's, i decide to put up with it and just drive home. about a mile down the road, the lights get real dim, and the 4runner simply cuts off. several attempts at starting it up again fail. finally it starts and i drove home; abs light turns off, lights are on full power, check engine light comes on.
???????
ill run the obdII scanner tomorrow to get the code. buddy of mine is borrowing my scanner.

how much am i looking at for a stock replacement?...however i think i want to upgrade because i have so many lights, and the possibility of a winch in the next few months.
