my brakes have gone hard my hardbrake light is stopping on but they were all ok when i parked it up 4 winter.......
all i've done is changed a wheel and charged the battery.......
also when i turn the ignition on the abs pump not pumping up???
any ideas????

 

ABS pump motor has seized or the pressure switch is faulty mate.....

All late 4x4 pumps are the same,you should be able to pick one up for buttons....

 

Check the main ABS fuse as well,I`ve not had one go yet but you never know...

 

i've checked all fuses they r ok
if the pump was seized how will i un seize it????

 

where abouts is the pressure switch mate?????

 

do you run a heatshield?

if not you could of possibly melted a wire or some for the ans

just go through everything on the pump to the connectors

 

Try changing the accumulator on the ABS pump - big spherical black thing - it unscrews - use something like an oil filter wrench on it!!!

 

no i don't run a heat shield and have checked the wire's they r ok
i've tryed changing the pressure switch (not that)
i'll try the accumulater 2morrow
anything else it can be??????

 

dont know about escorts but had the same prob on my saph, turned out to be the fuse under the dash next to the relay

 

for god sake don';t undo that sphere until it's depressuised!!!! u'll kill yrself!!!

did u take the battrey out to charge it?
check u've re attached the pump feed back up to the + terminal.

 

how will i know if it's depressured???

yeah i took the battery of 2 charge it..... do u know which wire it is mate???

 

I had a problem with the escort a year back with the fuel pump not coming on and it turned out to be the fuse box thing under the steering wheel. I was told they just lose tracks due to old age and need replacing! Old cars eh!

Good luck mate.

 

the pump on the abs was broke i changed in but still not working is there any other fuses or relays other that on the fuse box?????

also where is the accumulater at????
