right the abs light has always been on since i got the car.

so yesterday i changed all the wheel sensors but the light was still on

then this morning i was zip tying some cables up out of the way and

noticed that the green relay under glove box was not plugged in properly

plugged it in and the light went out

then just went out for a drive and at first the brakes work fine then the

pedal drops then pulses/vibrates 3/4 times and then the car stops slowly.

then the brakes dont work for a few seconds after this has happened and

the pedal is rock hard wont stop at all .

anyone know what this could be

I'd just pull that relay back out

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

tell you what might be a better idea to

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

yeah done that

RS500/364

see how close you are do you go to the surrey meet ?
can i use it there?

foreigneRS

that's obviously why the previous owner pulled the relay out rather than fix the problem

when you replaced the sensors, did you clean up the earth points for them? needs to be back to bright metal.

the fault that you describe is the most common sierra abs fault, and is usually caused by an imbalance in speed readings between front and rear sensors. usually cured by earthing the sensors properly, or in some cases replacement

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

do you mean where the sensors mount on the hub (with the 6mm bolt)

foreigneRS

yes, and the bolt should be in good condition

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)
