can anyone tell me where the ABS fuse is??

i opened the fuse box under the sterring wheel on the right to be greeted be an alarm code panel?

i have a slight ABS problem i think, so wanted to pull the fuse and see if the noise dissapeared

cheers

CADpaul

am i missing something stupid

does this alarm panel just pull off??

Don Clark

Your alarm panel started life as just a coin tray and once open should just pull off.

Behind that you should see the fuse/relay panel.

HOWEVER the ABS control module main fuse is SBF8 (slow blow fuse) in the Main Fuse box under the bonnet..............



And a number of other fuses are involved................

thanks, i just need to disconnect it to see if the low speed braking issue goes away, its like a knocking or thumping noise and the brake pedal goes funny

there are 2 fuses you remove if you wish to disable it

CADpaul

so SBF-8 under the bonnet, and the ABS fuse behind the alarm panel in the car?

CADpaul

well, the garage i bought it from had it sent to a "specialist" today, who said the ABS is fine according to the computer! so they are putting new front discs and pads on then we will see if that fixes it tomorrow


i have my doubts tho

they didnt seem interested when i told them its a sticking piston in the caliper

CADpaul

Still not fixed, the garage said it was cos I have 18" wheels!,
Abs is now disconnected noise has gone and pedal feels good
Turns out its a cracked abs ring

CADpaul

None of the ABS rings were cracked, but one has very slight scoring marks, everything on diagnostics is coming back ok, very strange

Don Clark

Check out the sensors are clean and correctly positioned/gapped

Thanks,
Everything was cleaned and put back, the front drives side drive shaft looks like its been replaced at some point, should I change the slightly scored ABS ring and the sensor? Or just leave the system disconnected?
