This has been a quirk that I've grown accustomed to over the years but has gotten worse and is now a real annoyance. It's a multi-step routine...
1. Start & drive my 1990 Bronco II
2. Drives fine
3. Without provocation, Rear ABS light illuminates/turn signals become inoperative/battery stops charging
4. *The fix* Roll ignition key back just a few degrees then roll forward again a few degrees. ABS light brightens for a second, then turns off. Turn signals function, battery charges as normal.
Simple as that. I used to have to do this once every couple trips and it didn't bother me. Now it does it a few times each trip and is becoming a hazard. I thought a new ignition cylinder would fix it but it hasn't. I really don't know where to start with this one. Anyone dealt with this before?
