Default Electrical problem

So.. i just got my tc back from the dealership. They replace the front axle under warrenty. The car was fine for about 3 days. Today i went out and started it and my battery, ABS, and brake light at on.. Any ideas?

its common after replacing the axles, all those are on because of the abs. disconnect the battery to reset the light, if it comes back on again then the abs gear on the axle is most likely damaged. just reset the light and see if it comes back if you dont wanna drive back there for them to reset it

maybe I'm crazy, but did you just "fix" it by disabling the abs?

nah i didnt disable it. Taking out the ABS fuses reset the code. I put them back in after about 10 seconds. Ill have to wait and see if they come back now.
