I got into car very hard last night and had to get on the brakes very very hard to get back down from 110 and I smelled the brakes real bad .I didnt think anything of it at the time till about 2 miles up the road the ABS light came on and the headlights got dim.I started to go up my driveway and as long as the car was below 1800-2000 rpm it was ok but when I push the go pedal it would bog down.I cut the lights out and had to rev the motor to 2000 rpm or so to get the top and windows up . If u let the car sit off for a few min it would start and run for a couple minutes then the ABS light would come on and as soon as it does the lights go dim and the car dies. I disconnected the bat and put it on chargelast night .The bat light never came on just the ABS. What is going on with it?:??:

FineLineMtrSprt is correct.

When the battery runs down it will trigger the ABS lights to start flashing.

Check the alternator and battery and you will find your culprit.
