xrkiwi Member 22 Member For: 17y 4m 23d Posted 22/04/11 06:24 PM Share Posted 22/04/11 06:24 PM Was Driving my ute home 2 nights ago went through some road works and my warning lights and beepers went mad abs and dsc came on and fault 2! was not braking at the time.Pulled over checked everything brakes still worked no squeals no leaks drove into Ford,they were way to busy to do any thing (long weekend)Quickly take a look at lights and master cylinder(fluid levels not moving)and tell me a sensor has probably broken in the hub.Any one got any Ideas how likely this is or what the problem could be...Brake pads are all good and all wires look to be connected.

xrkiwi Member 22 Member For: 17y 4m 23d Posted 25/04/11 08:19 AM Author Share Posted 25/04/11 08:19 AM found the problem it would appear that the gravel had worn through the outer wiring casing shorting 2 wires.Ford were unable to run diagnostics because they were flat out (long weekend )but it was booked to go in tommorrow.Problem solved Thanks All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
