Default Just got some paint work done & now i have 3 warring lights on?

I took my car to get some paint work done on the driver side door and the front bumper. After i left the ABS INOP,BRAKE,SERVICE LIGHTS came on i looked in the book nothing. But why should these light come on after some paint work?

Because it probably only pulls emissions codes...

You won't find brake/abs codes in the PCM, it will be out of the abs control module.

Why don't you just take it back to the paint shop? $10 says it something simple, like they unplugged the ABS sensor up front when they were trying to mask it off.

The car was never hit. I just took it in for some rock/bug damage.

possible a coinkIdink it was does happen. You have to take it to a shop and have the abs/asr module scanned for codes then go from there.

I found out it was water in the abs fuse that caused it to blow out. It sound like when they hosed it down they got water in it.

I'll post pics of there work soon. They do good work tho.
