Abs And Traction Lights

[jasper]

Hi all, In going back to standard on the car I have removed and fitted my old springs and wheels. However, now the ABs light is on all the time and the traction off light flashes, anyone any ideas why and how to solve?

you haven't accidently snapped any wires off when returning vehicle back to stock, have you?

Sound like you have snapped a wire from ABS or not but back together as these ar in the area you have been working in. did you do yourself

[jasper]

As Gord said the fault that you have is with one of the ABS sensors.

Oh crap jasper, looks like a visit to lexus. Dig deep mate.

[jasper]

its goin back to my m8 at 3 today for a look

[Pip]

Is this the same 'mechanic' with cataracts jasper?? I would use caution mate. Really though take it to a garage instead of attempting it yourself with your mechano set. :D

[Niraj]

i hope this doesn't turn into a costly mistake

[jasper]

costly for him :)

[Gord]

costly for him :)

I thought he was your MATE :o

[jasper]

ok, been looking at the abs wire and have done a test and nothing seems to be wrong, no cut in wire etc. been on to lexus teeside and walked through possible simptoms.

was quoted to replace new abs wires @ £105 inc discount a piece

Any ideas?

p.s. gord; mate or not mate u fk up u pay

[Gord]

Thought your mate was a mechanic ? has he any ideas ? after all he did the job :duh:

It can only be where he has been working, if thats when the lights came on ?

[Pip]

Looks like your mate is gonna be coughing up at lexus then.

that's a lil harsh jasper...

i've often helped friends out with things FOC when i used to install ICE, on the assumption that if anything were to go wrong, i would not be responsible. it was a kick in the nuts one day, when a friend of mine who couldn't afford to get his £60 sub installed in the back of his boot came to me. I did it free of charge, but the muppet decided to crank over the engine while i was connecting the leads. This blew the sub and because he didn't have any money nor sub now, he refused to accept responsibility. In the end, he forced me to pay for the broken sub.... we are no longer mates.

it's unfair to pay the price for being nice.

(sorry this may be irrelevant to your situation but thought i'd let you guys know what this real world consists of)

[jasper]

i paid him

[Niraj]

i paid him

fair play.... then you are right to ask for the job you paid for :)

[Pip]

How much is this gonna cost 'him'??
