Darn ABS light

[RamAirZ]

My ABS light is on. I have 2 backups from parted out VX's, now I just have to replace it. My plan is to take my broken out and sent it off to have it rebuilt ($100) and just keep cycling them in if they keep breaking.

Something in my DNA code wont allow me to be ok with something just being broken.....I have to fix it. But I am not in a HUGE hurry....it has been on for almost a year.

I'm the same way except I'm looking forward to getting rid of my abs so it wouldn't bother me.

I wouldn't remove it the first time it came on, but if it doesn't go out in a week or two it's very unlikely it's gonna disappear

Yeah, mine started intermittently, and that after a few months of on and off, it now stays on, and have been on for like 3 years now. Is the light that annoying? I don't even notice it anymore...

i dont use tape on the plastic ..i use one of those cling on window stickers they give you at a oil change place.. then cut it down to cover the light ..it still glows alittle bit through the sticker and it doesnt mess up the plastic.

"cling on window stickers"

Somebody had to.

I think we should have club t-shirts.

"This quality, all-cotton T is available in 'instrument panel black' and sports the official ABS Club logo in glowing orange..."

Mine has fluttered on and off for a couple years now and now that I have my new brake kit on, it just STAYS on. I guess it decided that since the brakes are in perfect condition now, ABS no longer has to pretend that it even did work and just gave up the ghost, heh. Not a fan of ABS anyways. When you know how to pilot a car, you don't need the car to correct you. Hands off computer! I'm behind the wheel!

Hell, I grew up driving cars that never even heard of ABS. Rule of thumb was "pump the brakes". Ya know, that's all ABS is doing anyways.... it just takes YOU out of the equation, heh.

I don't miss 'em.

But yep, that light can go to hell. It's bad enough I have stared at my TPS light in my STi since the month after I bought it. I HATE tire pressure sensors too and am running without. If I have a low tire, I can see it and check regularly anyways. If I get a blowout on a highway, little that sensor would do for me then. So.... I need a computer (and TSA regulation!) to tell me MORE crap that I can do myself? *sigh*

[RamAirZ]

ya some of the crap we have on cars today is annoying and is making this world lazier by the day, a car that parks itself? REALLY!! It's bad enough people can't drive as it is. I'm with you wormgod, like I said earlier I'm looking forward to my light coming on so I can rip all the abs stuff out lol. I've driven around 4-wheel drum vehicles with manual brakes before as a daily driver, I'm sure the VX will be easier to handle haha. Like you said, if you know how to pilot it, you'll be fine

Thank you guys for being kind enough to let me join the ABS loyalty squad team LOL.

My ABS came on yesterday morning while heading to work.

I need no ABS to pump my brakes,my right leg is fast enough to pump the s*** outter my brakes.

Ramairz, I was thinking about removing my ABS module and piping straight from the proportioning valve to the caliper lines. Only reason my light was on, I broke one of the sensors when I was doing my CV joint/locker install. Never looking back, need to pull the bulb though.

[RamAirZ]

That would work just fine, that's my plan whenever mine goes out. I hate having to get the wiring out of the way up front when working on the CV's, it's a pain. I think I spent more time being careful taking the wiring out than I did getting everything else apart
