Hello and hope you can help...bought a 99 Regal gs with 78k on it the ABS and traction control light were on when i bought it... I needed to change the */c coupler(it was noisey) and also rebuilt (brushes and v/regulator) the altonator while i had it off... traction light not on now just ABS light i read the codes they are U1040,P1602and B1001 also no dome light, I read your post about the Ground buss and i can not find them i took off the sill strips there is a ground wire with a bolt to the inner sill no corrosion on it and i looked in the harness and coul'nt find the groung buss strip some help would be great I hate any lights on in the dash ....thanks

Sounds like a grounding issue, but not necessarily the buss. More than likely its a ground for the brake control module. That B1001 code is odd though. Have you recently installed a new body control module?
Strange as it may sound, the first thing I would do is get the battery load tested. Even though your problems are likely related to a bad ground connection, there have been cases where some of your symptoms are related to a poorly performing battery. It'* hard to diagnose electrical issues when the battery itself isn't up to spec.
