I just lowered my ap1 this morning and drove around the city for about a few hours until I noticed my ABS light came on and EPS light at the same time. Then few moments later my cluster lights went away and car died down. Car wont turn back on unless jumped but then dies few minutes later. Can anyone help me out here

Sounds like ur alternator is not charging the battery. Check the connections.if connections are clean and tight then its probably ur alternator.

I had the same thing happen to me one time when I took out the alternator to change the thermostat. Of the two plug on the back of the alternator, one wasn't connected properly.

Thankfully you can check using a multimeter. Normal battery should read around 12v when the car is turned off, if the battery isn't drained or damaged. Now when you turn on the engine, the alternator should charge the battery and the voltage should read around 13v on the multimeter. when connected to the battery terminals.

I did this test when I checked, if my alternator was connected properly.

Also when the engine is running only on battery, as happened to me. My car had to be jumpstarted, and when driving home my wipers in the mild rain slowed way down, and my power steering went out and the eps light came on and steering was super heavy. Thankfully I made it home, but none of the accessories were working. My cluster lights were super dim, but thankfully the battery had enough juice to run the injectors and spark plugs, and the ecu.
