Dam Alright i went out to my car this morning and fired her up and it was slow cranking but it started. When it did the ebrake indicator stayed on it said low traction and abs inop. On top of that the radio flashed on and off repetedly and the battery gauge said the bare minimum. Does anyone on here have any ideas?
Im thinkin maybe the battery or the alternator. But can that cause all that to go on the fritz like that?

Yes it can. With a low battery, cranking the starter can pretty muchstarve off everything else, making things go funky. If you live in a colder climate and thethe temps dropped way down over night, and then the car cranks real slow like that in the morning, it usually means that the battery is going bad. The first "cold snap" of the season is always a good test on the battery. Check the alternator output to be sure, and if it's good, it's your battery that's bad.
