Another ABS light

[mrtew]

I'd like to do that. How do you remove the gauge cluster!

Been chasing the ABS light problem for a while. Senors are rusted into housing and can't get them out, Right rear disk brake is dragging now.
Pricing for ABS components are out of this world. Anybody come across anywhere you can get these parts cheaper but not salvage. To replace this stuff cost more than the vehicles worth.

Here's another option...get your ABS unit rebuilt for about $100.

Here's the thread where it was discussed, start at post #13:

I'm still waiting to buy mine but this is to the guy with the pin bent the fuse pulled and still has a abs light. From the posts I've read there are 2 abs fuses.

Here's an even cheaper (< 0.01 cent) and quicker option without any labor involved to having the ABS light disappear. Simply put a tiny piece of Black Electrical Tape over the ABS indicator light on the instrument panel. Problem solved.

That's how I got rid of the flashing clock on my first VCR...

VX is due for inspection & was sure it wouldn't pass with the ABS lite on.

Tried bending pin over & removing fuse. Lite still on. Pulled the dash cluster out & removed the ABS bulb. Only takes about 30 minutes & the only tool you need is a phillips screw driver.

If I get a chance this weekend, I'll try a re-do whilst taking pix.

BTW, there is only 1 fuse for ABS. The 20A one indicated on the cover is the one. The 40A shown on the cover is a fusable link, leave that in place.

BBTW, inspector dude doesn't like black 'lectric tape over idiot lights - couldn't go that route.

AFAIK, the ABS light does not trigger a CEL in the ECU, so you should pass emissions/etc. I have passed here in Reno 3 times with my ABS light on. Recently, I ripped out all of my ABS junk from the hubs and pulled the fuse. I just need to get that light out as well.

Tom--- It's a good thing the Inspector Dude doesn't know about the pre-ignition ACC switch test light function for the ABS Light Bulb.

Nah, but he sure focused in on the front right wheel bearings. FAILED.

Guess I'm getting dirty tonight to replace bearings (Kenny's write-up will be my friend - gotta remember to print it out before I go home).

[nfpgasmask]

Naaaa, replacing/repacking the wheel bearings is messy, but its an easy job if you have the right tools. I just did mine and it was simple.

Tom,
not sure that the OFH is a good mix with cheap Chinese wheel bearings.

Have a good look at them before you put them in Mate.

I'm with you on that PK.

Inner bearings came with outer races but outer bearings came without. Also they shorted me an outer bearing. Don't think I'll be ordering from them again. I'll prolly just do the passenger side right now (to get it re-inspected) & then order a full set of quality bearings to do the full job next month.

BTW, I've noticed that the brakes seem less mushy since the ABS has been disabled. Anyone else experience that?

[nfpgasmask]

My brakes feel the same will all the ABS crap pulled out.
