My ABS light stays on, as does the little yellow circle above the "D" (Drive) indicator on the dash. Also the engine light comes on from time to time. Other times it doesn't.

My cruise control doesn't work most of the time.

My speedometer works intermittently (it will be working fine, I stop the car, turn off the engine, start up again and the speedometer may work fine, or it may work for a few hundred feet and stop working, or it may not work at all. If it stops working, it will not work again until I turn off the car and let it sit for a while. If I stop and let the car sit for a while, the speedometer will ususlly work again and will usually keep working for as long as I continue driving -- but not necessarily. It usually works fine when I start up when the car is cold. If I turn the engine off, I am subject to the same process -- it may work, it may not.)

I had the ingition switch replaced and that cured my radio from going dead all the time, but nothing else. It did not cure the poor reception on AM and FM, but mostly AM.

I have had both rear wheel sensors replaced -- no change.

Could the ABS/ASC Control Module be bad? Any idea of cost to replace if necessary?

Otherwise, car runs and handles fine.

Thanks,

Fran

Needs to be scanned for codes first. If the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) has a problem it can affect many other components, might be why speedo works erratically. Poor reception could be a bad connection or damage to the antennae wire
