2000 Honda Accord, car died, electrical & transmission problems, 197k miles?
As a long time honda lover/ drive that doesnt sound anything like the typical honda. The person before you must have screwed it up pretty good but i would say all the lights coming arnt arnt just a couisidence its most likely just all starting to recognize the problems now because sometimes the ecu take a while to detect them. One thing is for the brake lamp light/ this has nothing to do with brake performance all this means is that most likely one of your tailights is broke or burnt out, as soon as you replace it with the right bulb it should turn itself off. For the abs it will most likely be a (WSS) which is a wheel speed sensor which just uses a magnet to detect the wheel speed so when one wheel locks up while all the others are spinning it will automaticall pump the brakes for you to keep that wheel from locking up which is the point of ABS, this is a common problem in all cars which ABS unfortunantly hondas to. And unfortunantly i hate to tell you this but the person that wrecked it probably screwed up the tranny pretty bad, your only hope is check the tranny fluid level and hopefully all it is is that its to low because cars do have a safety that shuts it off if the tranny fluid is to low so that it doesnt ruin the transmission but it maybe just isnt shutting the car the whole way off because its probably not working right because of the wreck. I hope that works but if not its probably the tranny. Just keep in mind that any honda has potential so any money that you put into it will more the be worth it. Hope this helps Good luck!
