ABS Light on, Brake light flashing, and (0) symbol
 
what and the heck does all this mean???

When i start the car the (0) symbol is showing, the ABS light is on, and when i start driving the car, the Brake light beeps and blinks..

(0) symbol indicates low pad life for the front brakes (no sensor for the rears). The ABS and BRAKE light together typically mean your ABS module is dead and you have no abs functionality (very common). First though check your fluid.

My guess is your front pads are about shot, and your abs module is as well.

Damn... Well i checked the front pads and i have great pad life... The car drives perfect with no problem... I know when i break hard, the car shakes as it comes to a hault.

how did you check the pads? the sensor is on the inner pad only. if you have a b5, i believe the rears don't have the sensors, correct me if i'm wrong though. and when you brake, does the steering wheel shake or the pedal or the actual whole car? if it's the whole car your brakes are shot. if it's the pedal or wheel, it's most likely just the ABS.

Your rotors are probably warped.

Check your brake fluid level and start searching on "abs control module."

steering wheel and pedal.. I figured it would be the the rotors being warped.

So there's no sensors in the rear? Only in the front? I have all around brakes..

what year do you have? check your brake fluid first like onepoint8tee has been saying. then come back and post

ok your rear brakes aren't affecting this light. now take off your front wheel and check the inner pads. take a flash light with you.
