hi my abs light has came on and brake pedal has gone rock solid!! i have not used the car just started it up since the last time i used her!! and it was like this has anyone got any ideas? or anyone got any diagrams of the brakes, i.e wiring for the abs or of the relays? i did have a copy but cant find them?!?

Please can anyone help?!?

 

Does the light come on after you've moved ? or stay on after the car is started ?

 

it stay s on all the time when started and moving, the pedal is always solid

 

if the pedal is solid it will be a pressure fault
does the handbrake light come on at the same time (or stay on and not go off) ?

and does the pump stop buzzing after about 20 seconds or does it run on and on and on for ages?

i remember someone else had this problem and it was a short in one of the wires which was letting hte pump over run

 

I had this problem, there is a small canister near the MAP sensor, one pipe goes to the engine, the other to the brake system. If the pipe has come off look down and under the brake distribution block you should see it T'ed in.

Its worth a check, good luck.

(My motor had burnt out so had to replace that first, if you can hear the motor running, it should be ok, but with the pipe off the canistor the motor will keep running and burn it out!)

i have had a look and it seems to have no live feed to the pump! any ideas!!

 

have you check the fuses in the boot, were the ABS ECU is?

 

Had same prob today and it was a + wire snapped off the battery.
