My 06' Lincoln LS (121,000 mi) within the last week gets the Check AdvanceTrac message and the red ABS indicator light comes on. They will intermittently kick on and off. I know after this happens, the next time I go to start my engine my battery will be drained. If the lights don't come on during a particular trip, and I shut off the engine, it will start up just fine the next time.

I did replace the cop's and plugs about 5 weeks ago. I did this after car went into ETC failsafe mode. Motorcraft plugs but went cheap on the cop's. She ran well for about 4 weeks, but this last week has been a pain asking strangers for a jump, etc. I've read elsewhere in here a bad cop can cause unexplained instances of problems. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Turns out my alternator was going bad, which caused battery problems. Replaced both and it has been fine ever since. Thanks. Dylmadbry
