ABS Light????

[VXIRONwoMAN]

Thanks all for the support!!! I am just bummed 'cause I fixed the Mode position switch and not even a month later the ABS light comes on... I don't like lights on my dash being on... Unless it's when i am using my turn signal or something. Oh well...guess I gotta do what I gotta do...Check the bone yards, 'cause I definitely can't afford $2,500 YIPES!

::letting out a frustrated sigh::

This can be fixed at your lesiure, as fundage allows. (check around the salvage yards) Or quickly, by putting a peice of black tape over the warning light.

I like this idea! I think that is what I am going to do for the mean time. Thanks Big Brother!

Just when I thought I was going to have to troubleshoot my abs light this weekend.... I drove through the rain last night, real heavy rain and guess what... no abs light anymore.. must have been mud on a sensor or something.. WOOHOO!

Dino, just wondering. What we discussed last time, wonder if a few panic stops on loose or wet stuff might reset the light? Just a thought.

Nope. When that light is on, the system is OFF.

It seems to have a mind of it's own. I drove around yesterday with everything fine. I went to the grocery store, came back to my VX turned it on and the stupid light is back on again!!! Humph! I was so excited too... Oh well. Maybe it will be in a good mood today and behave. LOL

I had an intermittent ABS light and checked the fuse and it went off. it happened again and i pulled the fuse and put it back in and it went off. replaced the fuse and it stayed off. I assume it to be a poor connection due to dirt/oil/etc.

Now i have an interior switch so i can kill the ABS from inside the cab. i got sick of needing to get out of the car and pull the fuse every time i got to my off road destination. ABS does a great job of preventing break lock-ups on pavement. But on dirt you're always slipping. so your ABS will "half-break" you right off a cliff. in dirt you want to lock up and dig in.

sub-note: when trouble shooting your ABS, dont forget the system doesn't reset until you turn the car all the way off and then on again.
