very confused...

[97vulcan]

I had to slam on my brakes today, and the back ones locked up. I don't know what happened with the front ones. I have all disc brakes, and didn't think I had ABS. Until I remove my windshield washer resovior and see this thing located in my pictures. When I turn on my key, I have no ABS. Could it be the previous owner removed the bulb due to some ABS error?? IDK.

Thanks,
Adam



Ok..Its a silver box....i don't know how to post pictures on here....soooooo yeah..can someone help me there??

Here is what I am talking about.

Yeah, it could be the bulb has been removed or it's burnt out. I don't know of any way to check it without removing the instrument cluster and checking the bulb. Maybe someone else does and they'll chime in.

Another way to find out if it's working would be to pull the error codes. Do a search on "ABS codes" (without the quote marks) and you'll probably find a thread telling how to do that. It was posted quite recently.

Yes, that is ABS. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-93...spagenameZWDVW for a pic to confirm. You have it.

if there is no dash light that lights up is there some other way I can test to see if it works, besides stepping hard on the brakes. I did this and the rears locked up. Is the ABS only on the front two brakes??

thanks,
Adam

When you turn the key, and all the dash lights come on, you should see the "ABS" light on as well. And it;s a 4 wheel ABS system. So either your ABS is not correctly working, or you need to bleed the brakes which may help.

darn....i was hoping ...could you just lie to me samarai!!

[97vulcan]

no abs light, and no abs in rear. i am not going to worry about it. my luck, the previous owner had a problem with it, and took out the abs bulb.

ABS/Wheel Speed sensors could be shot .... you definitely have ABS because you have the unit that you pictured, and you have 4-wheel disc on a 4cyl model

theyre not cheap to replace, but if you asked your local stealership they could diagnose the problem and give you a quote

That's how i decided to stop ricing my car, i can put down an aftermarket sunroof, i can swap in leather interior, but rebuild the brake system is out of question

[97vulcan]

thanks for all the input. should i replace the abs bulb and see what happens??? i can see the abs sensors in the front, but can't find the ones for the rear.

also what is the bulb for the ABS and what is the bulb for the ETC??

thanks,
adam
