Thread: No brakes

thats the cheap solution......
the not so cheap one could be.......the pump is seized and blowing the fuses.....

Hi zook, I like mine, looks after the wallet - but.........

I just get the feeling that some little thing has come to grief re a trip to the Watagans - where is that?

see if you can unplug the pump.....then fit a new fuse to see if it blows again.....
if it does blow.....unplug the next suspect thing and repeat.....


keep doing this till you run out of fuses...... ....or you find the fault.....

Looking at the wiring diagram the fuse is dedicated to the ABS Pump - nothing else on it.

Between the fuse and the pump is the abs relayand the other side of the pump is the abs pressure switch, ground side connection

You might want to test the resistance through the pump (with it disconnected to see of it's open circuit or (more likely) grounded (shorted out).

With the Cruise control needing the braking system are the 2 related ?

Please tell me o'wise one's

dunno 'bout o'wise one's (blind leading the blind sometimes) - but

.............the cruise control is linked through the abs via the brake switch vent valve - so I guess if the abs is shot/non functional this could affect cruise.

The Watagan's is in God's country the north Central Coast of NSW.

We didn't do anything too serious on the trip.

I'd say it could be a loose connection, snagged wire, dodgy relay or unlikely but possible a locked rotor or other internal fault on the motor

Can anyone tell me where the wiring runs on this model I agree a snagged wire could short out a circuit but how could a wire snag ( I presume they are running on the interior of the vehicle)

Totally off the subject of ABS, is the "Sawpit track" at the Watagans still there???????. It used to be a great track if it had been raining. On the subject of ABS, the auto electrician sounds like good cheap advise if you are blowing fuses instantaniuosly.

Sawpit track is still here, Cut rock rd is partially locked now. There is a monster track "the track with no name" that Relay told me about, we're gonna see how bad it is next week some time.

Why wanna come for a drive
