hi all,

need help with abs issue,
abs relay(purple relay near ecu) is clicking constantly and fuse is getting very hot,
removed fuse and relay carried in clicking,
tried another relay and still clicked constantly,

wheres the earth for abs?
any ideas what could be wrong?

cheeRS colin

 

Mines been doing it too. Took the relay out and has stopped for now till I go hunting for a fix. Weird how yours is still clicking though. Been told the Accumulator might not be hold pressure and making it click????????

 

oh well let me know if you get it fixed,

anyone any ideas?

cars a daily so need it sorted out really,

will have tinker about today see if find a fault,

where could I get the abs wiring diagram?

 

reckon its the abs pump earthing out,seems rubber mounted and when wiggle it it runs pump,
will try insulate it better tomorrow,

 

Cool. Let us know. With pics would be great for reference

 

ok,
bottom plug on pump seems to be attached to a cover type bit on bottom of pump,this had unclipped and was activating pump when wiggled etc,
managed to clip it back in and problem fixed,for time being any way,

although pump rubber mounted it does seem to have continuity to earth which seems right

 

You need to have a further look into this. If the pump stops working, your brake pedal will be rock hard, leaving you with virtually no brakes.

Below is a pic of what lies under the end cover of the pump. It seems that your pump may be earthing not through the connector (which goes directly to the battery) but via the pump body. Alternatively the live wire has melted and is making intermittent contact. Either way, this is not good. Repair it properly before you kill yourself or somebody else.

 

oh!! bet that's what mine looks like,
does that end cap just pull off?
will check it out tomorrow again

 

Thanks. Will have a look today after seeing that photo.

 

seen the relays corrode.... just pop the top off them and have a look ....
