New noise.

When I press the brake pedal and hold it, such as at a red light, I get a cricket/cicada (soft) sound coming from it. It only stops when I let it go. My ABS light is on, so wondering if those two are connected somehow?

Any thoughts on this one? :?: :_confused

Do you get the "cLuNk" sound when you let go the brakes?, especially after a harder stop?

I will pay attention a bit more to this, but thinking back it seems I do from time to time. I know we have some normal, hard shifting and never really thought about it much.

No connection.

Pop the bonnet and twist the rubber bumpers out a turn or two to get rid of the chirping.

Send your ABS controller and $85 to the guy in Virginia to get rid of the ABS light.

Does the noise go away when you release the brake & put it in neutral?

Yep.... noise goes away when I release the brake. Not there any other time. Prolly just one of those things, she is getting a bit old. Running great though..... gas mileage is decent, no been over heating....at all.

Yeah.... prolly just me.

NO, not just you. Your cicada description kinda adds to the description in my mind as a "whirring", though whirring was never completely accurate as a description IMO. If that sounds familiar, I've noticed & suffered with it for years...:(

We should start a 12 step program, for the benefit of the forum...:yes:

But I am serious about your description adding another element to my description of "the noise"...:yesgray:

Wait... does this mean you know what this is? It has never been scary enough to track down. I just assumed it was assorted play in the myriad mechanics involved in getting power from the engine to the wheels. If this is something I should be looking into, I'd like to hear it.

Coming from the pedal area? It is a chirping noise? Something like a loose belt noise? If it was power steering, I could make some stuff up, but for the brake, I've got nothing... How about a hissing noise? The brake booster runs on vacuum, so a vacuum leak might sound like rushing air.

NO...I wish I knew 4 sure what it is, I'm doing research here...:yesgray:

The noise I experience is REALLY hard to describe, & I'm always too "forgetful" (:_beer:) in Moab to listen to, oh I duuno...14 - 20 other VX's...:rolleyesg

Ahhhhhhh...priorities...:slap:

Did you try this? I had this problem years ago, and had forgotten all about it until I read this post. This is all it was.

Dub what are you thinking behind this question. Reason I ask is I have put up with a lot of clunk ,tap, creak at a stop. Seems to be link to the braking. It is not driveline clunk I am convinced of that. All tie rod ends, ball joints, and cv joints have been replaced. Its so bad I had a passenger commenting on it. I have wondered if I have play in my trailing links or torsion bars or control arm bushings. Sorry to hijack the thread. :o
