Don't disconnect your battery, all you will do by doing that is errase the memnory in your ECU and it will take some time to regain that.
Don't take it to a dealer, they will chage you an arand a leg to repair it.
Send me your tele number and a good time time call and I'll walk you thru what you should do.
Mike

I had the same symptoms and it was related to, and cured by replacing a bad rear air shock. You might get these undicators to go off temporarily, but to have them go off permanently you have to solve the problem. You can get airsprings from Arnott industries for @189.00 each. I would go ahead and replace both at once. They take about 10 minutes to replace once the tire is off.

The only cue for the 3 amigo's is to have a shop with a test book or an AutoLogic scanner, scan for codes, make the repairs and have the codes errased.
There are a few faults taht will not need repair, more like things you can do to make them go away.
Sorry i didn't see the replys, if anyone still wnts to talk about it, send me your tele number and I will call you tomorrow, Sunday.
Mike

Another candidate here. I have had mine on for the last 20,000 miles. I am so used to them by now, that if they are turned off one day, I would miss them.[sm=smiley14.gif]

Kat, keep searching. There are a lot of newer posts than 5 years ago with more info on the 3 amigos. But more than likely you'll need someone to scan the abs codes so you know where to start.
