The ABS and heater core are two seperate components. I'm thinking it is just a coinicidence. Note If the ABS light is on, the brake will still work fine, but the ABS will not. Chances are there is a sensor problem at some point. As far as the other problems, they all could be tied to a module called the GEM. It controls many things. What I recommend is having it checked and if the ABS light is still on, have the computer scanned to see what is causing it to stay on.

Let me know what you find.

Great! I'm glad you got it fixed. Honestly, I've seen a lot of ABS lights but none set by the alternator. Regardless, good luck and let us know if you have questions in the future.
