So I finally wired up my front speakers to a real amp so they aren't powered by the Android Head unit's built in amp and when I turned my car back on the ABS light was on.
@Aleks if you could help me bump this, or should I repost in general discussion? U have been super helpful in the past and active. Only reason I am tagging you specifically. My post don't seem to be showing up in the new post feed and I could really use some help.
Now the car is revving to 3000rpm at 70mph and not shifting(usually sits at 2500 at 70 mph) Also cruise control not working.
I found this thread that says the ABS sensor wire is right near where I tapped into the factory speaker wires at the driver side kick panel. (and presumably passenger side as well) It's on a jeep Patriot forum but I assume this is my issue. Says there is a 3 wire splice with a poor connection that erodes. Anyone have pics or a wiring diagram of this? I assume wire colors may be different. The jeep is also 4wd.

"The ESP, BAS, Traction Control, and 4WD! lights were lighted on my dash for a while, sometimes turning on and off in the beginning, now staying on constantly. I read some other threads on possible reasons and heard about the corroded wiring splice in the driver's side kick panel. I went looking and found that I also had a corroded splice. I've attached pictures to show people where the splice was located on my Pat (08), since I never came across any photos in other threads showing where it was. I simply detached the battery, cut out the corroded part, stripped new wire and soldered them together. Once the car was turned back on the lights were out and stayed out (4WD was not engaging with the lights on but now works fine)."

ESP, BAS, Traction Control, 4WD! dash lights fix
Hey guys, I've been referring to this forum for a while now for info about my Pat. I finally decided to join as I felt I could help people with a problem I had. The ESP, BAS, Traction Control, and 4WD! lights were lighted on my dash for a while, sometimes turning on and off in the beginning...
