NO.

Well, we learn something new everyday,

I initially thought the stop light switch was the culprit and replaces it, it was fine.

Have you checked the leads coming from each wheel sensor, rather than rely on the blinking lights.
As I said earlier when mine was placed on the testbook at the repairers, it came up with an airgap fault,
That is a far cry from what the actual problem was , and that was a broken wire.
perhaps yours coud be the same.

I suppose a broken wire does create a small air gap... ;)

Does anyone know if you can just pull the fuses for a tempory fix until time is available to go into in detail?

and if so which fuses?

hi greebo, yes you can pull the fuse or relay. I had to pull the ABS pump relay on mine because the pump wouldn't turn off with the ignition. I drove around for a week with no ABS, after being advised by my local mechanic that it was safe to do so.

Well after looking at the rave cd and users manual there are 3 fuses that refer to antilock braking or antilock brakes. The one in the RAVE cd points to ABS pump.

I'm guessing ABS pump is the one I want to pull but I'm not sure

Anyone out there shed any light on this?

I'd settle for the location of the ABS valve relay as acording to rave I can just pull that.

Update I've pulled the ABS VALVE fuse I'd guess that will have the same effect as pulling the relay.

regarding the mannual reset procedure for the Disco ABS system. My 1995 Disco v8 NZ new has the ABS light on. the connector on mine is a 5 poin jobby, rather than the 16 pin one on this thread. is it possible to to aply the same procedure with different pins. Incidently The haynes wiring manual (1989 to 1998)i have appears to be consistent with the model I have, not the one shown on this thread, Ive checked the relays and the wiring to the sensors. it all looks ok the sensors are each abot 950 to to 1000 ohms at the connectors closest to the wheels. all the fuses are now ok althoug the fuse to the indicators had been blown ,which was presumably caused by my trailer wiring fault. Not sure if this is related tot he abs problem or not. cheers alex
