Unhappy Random lights coming on for no reason!

Hi,

A few months ago I had to replace my crank shaft sensor due to my car turning off wail I was driving. its been working great for the last couple months. And now a couple days ago I went to start my car and it was just clicking and it wouldn't start, so I bought a new battery and its been working fine the last two days. This morning when I got in it started just fine and about a mile down the road my radio kept restarting and It did it while I was on the freeway also so I turned it off for about five minutes and when I was stopped at a light I tried it again and it was doing the same thing and then my abs light came on and I could feel them grabbing and when I parked my car I couldn't unlock my passenger side with the key. Any help with this would be great! I don't even know where to start.

My guess is that the battery is flat, can you start the car? If not I would say you have alternator an problem which led you to believe the first battery was dead and now this one is running down as well.
Get the alternator checked out at one of your shops that does this for nothing.

So it turns out that auto zone did not tighten the battery connections.

Thanks for all the help!

I'm glad you found the problem! Just goes to show that "Free" is usually worth exactly that.
