Hi Marck,

The ABS indicator light staying on indicates a fault with the anti-locking brake system and you need to retrieve the trouble code to proceed with rectification.

For the dimming of the lights when accelerating, check the beltings and crank pulley. If the harmnonic dmper is bad, it would affect the charging system.
