VCS, ABS, VCSoff, BRAKE lights and buzzer!!! ARG!
Ok,
I posted a thred last week about a strange loud noise coming from behind the dash/steering. It happened sparadically, and stopped.
Well this week that noise returned. This time the noise was accompanied by some electrical problems:
While driving on a 3-Hr drive, the radio started intermittantly cutting out, lights and musis, then I started hearing the noise (like airblowing inside a pipe) about 2 minutes later the VCS, ABS, BRAKE, and VCSoff Lights all lite-up and the VSC beeper tone came on constantly for about 3 minutes.
The car braked Fine, accelerated fine, shifted fine, steering fine, while the lights and buzzer were going off, then about 2 or 3 minutes into it the lights all turned off the buzzer turned off, and the car kept driving for another 1-1/2 hours.
The next day on the return trip, the same problem occured 2 more times.
I hooked up an ODBII scanner, and received no error codes.
Any Ideas?

Never have I heard of this. Issues similar without all of thos symptoms have been recorded but a scanner would always pick up a code.
Sounds like a electrical short. Did you or a prior owner install anything aftermarket? Alarm, stereo, etc......?

Did you figure out what this was by chance? Happened to me the other day. It went away and car is running fine now. Checked the fuses and nothing blown. Not sure what caused this.
