My wife was driving to work this morning and the ABS light and Engine Light came on. At the same time the stereo would not work and the blower/fan for the heater wouldn't work.
We had the same problem a week ago and the mechanic said that our alternator was bad. We replaced it and the car ran great for the past week. Any idea about what could be going wrong?

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
