Abs + ESP = 172 not to start



  172
Well driving home today my head unit started to turn off and on by itself, then Abs + ESP lights were on when radio was off then as if everything was fine radio came back on and lights dissapeared... A minute later this happened again and was every 30 seconds or so. Got home turned engine off. now the car won't start showing the abs + ESP lights. However i tried jumpstarting it and it starts fine but the lights are still intermittently off and on along with the radio.... Any ideas?

Battery's full green lights on test... Started first turn after it's been sat there a couple hours, so I left it to tick over for a while and lights came back on! Noticed a bit too much water coming out of exhaust to the point the joint between cat and mid pipe was dripping... Any ideas anyone?

Check the voltage output of the battery and alternator with the engine running.

I'm out of ideas then i'm afraid and would need to see the vehicle.
 
Not a perfect diagnosis, but it has got to be a loose electrical connection or broken wire in the power supply somewhere. Its finding the somewhere that's going to be the problem. Could take an expert electrician a long time! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but best to be ready for a potentially big bill. But on the other hand, a good guy might find it quickly. You never know. Good luck!

I'm not really worried about it as I still have 4 months warranty on the car... Hence why I'm not getting too involved. It's just going to be a pain sorting out how to get it back into the garage? It starts fine just while driving I have issues would it damage the car trying to drive it?
