got a flat tire, drivers side front, put the donut on and now the anti-lock brake light is on, what could be causing this? btw i since got 4 new tires and its still on. couldnt get the center cap screw tool to engage on one of the wheels and ended up damaging the center cap. where can i get a replacement center cap? also im gonna change out the center cap screws to stainless steel allen heads...any suggestions on where to find them? thanks

If the donut was a different diameter then the stock tire it could've sent mixed messages to your speed sensor which is directly connected to your ABS. Since the stocker is back on you need to run a diagnostic tool on the vehical.
If you don't care about keeping it stock remove the ABS unit all together. From your sig. it appears you've kept it stock so if you want to keep the ABS unit your going to have to have it diagnosed.

Check why the anti-lock light is on by utilizing the ALDL port that is under the dash. It can also tell you what your "check engine" light means as well. No need to bu a code scanner, all you need is a paper clip.
Good luck on finding a center cap
. You can post up a WTB in the classifieds. Unless someone has a loose center cap laying around, they will be reluctant to sell you just one since it will break up the set. ebay is a good source however, expect to pay BIG money for just ONE especially if it is in good shape. I have seen one brand new new go for $200...
Regarding replacing the locks, you may be able to obtain them locally if you have a decent hardware store by you. Socket head cap screws in metric can be hard to come by. The dimensions that you are looking for are:
Thread size M10 X 1.50
Length 1.30"
Head diameter .620"
You could try McMaster-Carr but sometimes they won't break up fasteners. You will have to buy a whole box of 100 even though you only need 4.

yeah if the spare was diffrent it would have sent a speed sensor erratic code more than likely and usually you will have to clear the code manually dis connect battery for 5 min or with a scanner
