ABS problems anyone???

Post by quickbiker »

My ABS light is on for no reason at all. Wondering if anyone had any problems with theirs and how to fix it? Maybe was cause I was out one night sling'n mud rescuing a Ford Ranger. hahaha

Well I dont have ABS ne more :lol: but every time I was in deep mud the light would come on untill I washed it or sometimes it would turn off as I going home. I have only had my truck for about 2 weeks and I have already saved my friends jeep 2 times, another friends k5 that had his 35s a good 6 inches under water, 2 tacos, a wrangler, and a tracker. No I didnt get pics :( but from now on im keeping the camera with me. but I did get some nice flex pics.

The front wheel sensors are prone to interference when mud gets in there. washing the brakes and wheel sensors after a mudd'n trip usually cures it. If you are still having problems look for damage to the sensors or wiring.

ok, thanks. I did find something on the internet that was talking about that same thing. Been driving the Camaro, maybe it is dry and working by now, LOL



What's strange is that it was working when I was mudding. The light came on a few days after! :?
