Exclamation 06 Explorer Front diff/brakes?

Ok, so heres the deal, my 06 explorer is having some wierd issues. all the idiot lights came on, in cluding ABS and 4X4. When given gas I hear a grinding now and feels like something might be binding, or braking in the front end. The more gas i give it the faster i come to a stop. I can slowly move freely with no noise. Im not getting any codes either. Well one of my other readers got a P1000. Any ideas? this is killin me.

I had a problem where my ABS, seatbelt, airbag and other lights came on sometimes. Was still under warrenty. Carried to Ford dealer and they said it was a weak battery. They replaced under warrenty. No mor problems. Go Figure.

You will have to lift her up and check all of the front running assembly.

Not enough info to make any intelligent opinion.

Well all the lights on this came on, except check engine light. The wrench, ABS, 4X4, traction control. I thought it was bad connections with the computer, but that didnt work. When i pulled codes with my reader is says low ignition circuit. So maybe that could be it. Some of these idiot lights started about the time the old battery was going out, and shortly after the new one? faulty batter maybe? If all else fails I'm taking a mechanic.
