ABS problem preventing car from starting
I made a post yesterday about my car not starting. I have now discovered that by removing the brake fuse, the car will start. Replacing the fuse causes the problem again. The ABS light comes on and the starter will not spin. After removing the fuse and letting the engine run, I noticed that my fuel gauge showed no bars. The SYS message would flash and a bar would appear on the gauge. This repeated until the gauge read normally. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Re: ABS problem preventing car from starting (torque91)
There's no common circuitry (other than ignition power) that I'm aware of so check wiring in and around the ignition switch. Brake switch, dash harness are all in this area. You may need to drop the column to get a good look at everything.
