Yeap... acheived the triple crown today. I woke up this morning and the mada had the VDC-SLIP-ABS lights on... that's strike 1. I've had the mada for 2 years now so I'm used to the various random warning light moods she has so I carried on as normal. Then on the way back from the store the 4WD light popped on and the indcator on the odometer went out (that's strike 2). I was planning on doing the rear brakes today and thought that might help with the first issue anyways so I went ahead and replaced the rear rotors and pads as planned. Took it for a spin and all the lights were still on... 'oh well' I thought. Then I pressed the brakes hard to start the brake in process and voila! strike 3... the brake light came on.
I'm laughing at this point, after all the problems we've all had with the mada and the modules I had to share the story.
I'm hoping the modules just need to be re-flashed or something. The car still drives normal. I'll be taking it in to the stealership tuesday to see what guesses they have.
Just as a further note... lights come on the same way each time. VDC-SLIP-ABS are on right from start up. The 4WD light and vanishing indicator happen about 20 seconds after start-up now every time, i can switch modes normally until the 20 seconds is up. The brake light will only come on if the pedal is pressed hard.
