    TOD still works and lights up. I checked both ABS fuses and they ohm out. Pretty sure its the pump as you can not hear it run (If you listen, it's supposed to make a very quiet whir). Not sure about the o2 sensors, I'll swing by where I got them and see what they'll do.

    Just picked up a commuter car for the wife so now instead of a 200mile 3 days a week commute with the VX, it can now rest and I can work on the issues.

    One thing that interested me this past week. I was pulling the VX into the garage and when I backed up in the deep snow, the ABS light went out and the pedal chattered like it does when the ABS is working. I was thinking maybe it just needed a good stomping on the pedal (I was sliding towards another vehicle and was aggressively trying to stop). Anyways, went out the next day to take a look see if the light was still out, nope it came back on.

    So, either I have a flakey pump, or my ABS only works in reverse...

    If the ABS light comes on when driving there should be a stored code. I would get this checked before replacing anything. shawn

    ABs...

    My AB light has been on for quite some time now, another thing thats on my long list of repairs needed. For me thought I do know what it is, the sensors in the back are coverd with metal shavings from the old rotors, which I have since replaced, just need to replacethe sensors now. Was wondering though before I did that whether or not cleaning the shavings off would work? Anyone had a similiar experience.
    As for the ABS only working in reverse possibly, I've never had that happen, a few times it did come back on but only briefly and then went right back again. I'd check your sensors before I did anything else since it can't hurt, pretty easy to do, you can't miss them at the back wheels, esepecially if they have metal on them.

    It says in the manual that the shavings can cause problems. I would try cleaning first,it can't hurt. shawn
