Sooo...

Recently I've had the ABS and Traction Control Warning lights come on. Sometimes they come on as soon as I start the engine, other times I can drive for miles before suddenly I hear ding-ding-ding and they flash on...

I do the same route a few times a week and I've noticed a pattern that they will come on at the exact same place every time.. Seems to be when I go around a round-about (left) and/or hit a small bump in the road (yeah, I know.. I should really know where it is by now)...

I'm guessing it's a short somewhere but figured I'd check the forums if this is a known fault before fiddling about in the engine compartement http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

As a side note, whenever the lights come on I'm also unable to change into 4lo/hi and/or cycle the TC2.

Thanks very much for any help/thoughts.

Got back from the shop today to find the "check washer fluid" message on the display... Mmm, I thought - only filled it this morning (about 80 miles ago)..

The windows washer pump (front) is now constantly on unless I actually want it on in which case it turns off... hence I believe there's a short somewhere.

Are there wiring diagrams and/or service-manuals for the H2 available online somewhere??

Thanks again...
