Hi everyone I hope someone can help me.
I have a 1994 V8 Classic with an ABS problem.
A couple of weeks ago I lost all the brakes, the pedal was going straight to the floor.
After a quick look I could not see any fluid leaks and the level was ok. But I did notice the pump was running all the time even with the keys out of the car. I did not have time to look at it further so I disconnected the battery.
I had time yesterday so had a look further into. I noticed when moving it into the garage with the pump disconnected the brake pedal was back to normal.
But when the pump was connected again I lost the pedal and the pump was running all the time? I pulled the relay for the pump and it still ran, then I removed the fuse and it still ran.
This really confused me!
But then the pump stopped but at the same time a fuse had blown, the supply to the load relay the one in the middle next to the pump relay.
So I followed the wiring and stripped the loom from the engine bay and found a couple of burnt out wires. I repaired what I could see and built it back up.
It started behaving as it should but I now have the ABS and TC lights on. I have done the blink test and tried to reset it but it just keeps coming up with the same code 2-3.
The only reference I could see to this code was on a site for trucks and busses, it is not mentioned on any LR sites.
Any suggestions on what to try now?
Cheers
Graeme
