Title: ABS Lamp
Post by: baldy18 on 25 October 2007, 10:16:51

Have just come back with MOT refusal, one thing:-

Anti-lock bracking system warning lamp does not illuminate (Never seen it illuminate since had the car).

How do I check if its the bulb or if something more serious?

its a 1998 3.0 elite (Ex blue & White)

Thanks

iirc, prise out the centre air vent and undo the screw(s), the panel then eases forward off a connector, unplug the MID and it shoud be free to come out.

When replacing, get the rhs in place then press back onto the connector and replace the screw.

Thanks for that, got it out no bulb. Took it for a run as soon as went over a bumb ABS light went on. Stopped re started fine. when braking fine another bumb on it goes and stays on.

Am I looking at a fault with the ABS or lose connection.

dodgy wheel sensor might be causing the fault, get a tech2 on the case. the bulb was probably removed by the previous owner to hide the fault before selling it.
