If my traction control light comes on while driving and the car starts jerking then pull over and shut the car off the light goes out you start the car up and you start driving and it dose the same thing...

If the traction control light comes on while you are driving and the car starts jerking, it is important to pull over and shut the car off as soon as it is safe to do so. This is because the traction control system is designed to help improve the stability and handling of your vehicle, and if it is not functioning properly, it can affect the safety of your vehicle.
It is possible that the issue could be related to the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) sensors. The ABS sensors are responsible for monitoring the speed of the wheels and sending this information to the ABS system. If the sensors are not functioning properly, it can cause the traction control system to malfunction, which could result in the symptoms you have described.
It is important to have the issue diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to determine the root cause of the problem and recommend the necessary repairs to get your vehicle back on the road safely.

My dash light abs and brake lights came on as well as internal lights.why

What I would do: get a fault code reader on you truck. Autozone will put one on it for Free. Record the codes and use a Haynes manual and on-line research to assist in diagnosis. You probably have several simultaneous issues that are affecting one another. Usually an ABS warning light comes on, when the vehicle isn't moving, when a wheel sensor or sensors is bad and/or the ABS computer module is bad. Rebuilt modules can be had for $100 or so. Sensors are easy to replace once you determine either with a specific fault code or with a multimeter which ones are faulty. If the vehicle is moving and the ABS light comes on when you are pressing the brake... this is normal when the ABS is activated and the vibration is felt through the brake pedal.

When I am just about stoped the abs comes on and if I press brakes again it does not come on. I have a 2002 2500 chevy 4x4

This can be caused by a variety of reasons depending on make and model. If you have ONE newer tire than the rest, wet/slippery road conditions, loose/worn wheel bearing, poor connections at ABS sensors or bad sensors. I would have the system scanned to determine the affected wheel. In a lot of cases, especially on trucks, play in the wheel hub assembly is a major cause

Why is my abs light on in my 03 chevy? and on the passanger side the front tire is roaring really bad when i drive, please help

Ok, there are sensors on your front wheel hubs. This could easily cause the abs light to turn on. The loud noise could easily be your wheel hub going bad. Easiest way to check, jack up the front of the truck, grab tire, shake back and forth and up and down. Same amout of play each way? You're wheel hub is bad.......

The ABS brake light will go on whenever it doesn't see a signal coming from the wheel speed sensor on any of the 4 wheels.

May need to have it scanned for ABS Brake codes to determine which wheel is affected.

Abs brake light is coming on just had brakes on in spring, and just had the car inspected in June

The brakes should still be working alright even with the light on. That light is just showing that there is a fault in the anti-lock brake system, which just keeps the wheeles from locking up on a wet or snowy road. The problem could be a wheel speed sensor, dirt and road grime can get on the end of those sensors and send a false reading from the toner gear to the computor, which turns on the light.
The best thing to do is have a code scanner hooked up to it to find exactly what the problem is. If there is an autozone or advanced auto near you, go there and they can check it, usually free. Otherwise you'll be paying up to a $100.00 just for 30 seconds to retrieve the code.

On my 1998 Grand Caravan, the ABS light has come on and I know that I need to replace the front brake pads as I heard them squeeling this weekend but also now the front blower stopped working for the AC...

The ABS light is most likely a bad Wheel Speed Sensor.

The Blower is most likely a Blower Resistor that rusted away. You should have a couple of blower speeds left.

The directional issues are the third problem

Work on one thing at a time.

2001 olds ABS and traction control sensor issue

An ABS sensor DOES affect the traction control system. Traction control uses these sensors to determine if a wheel is losing traction. A bad sensor will cause both the ABS and TRACTION lights to come on.
The CHECK ENGINE light however is going to be a seperate problem.
