Hi guy's,
I'm having an odd problem with my 1989 325i convertible, manual transmission.
The ABS is kicking in super easy. Just under normal driving conditions. It usually kicks in right before the car comes to a complete stop (even at very slow speeds), but sometimes it kicks in even earlier. And, no kidding, sometimes it starts engaging even when the car is standing still and I have my foot on the brake pedal. Also, it kicks on when pulling up or lowering the handbrake! This happens at the midway point of the handbrake handles travel. Weird...
I recently had some work done to the car. I had new rear shocks put on, a new drivers side rear wheel bearing, and the car was missing the brake pad wear sensor on the front left brake, so I put a new one on there thinking it would remove the typical E30 "Brake Lining" light that is illuminated (it didn't).
Also, out of nowhere, the trunk lid brake light has gone out. Now, I doubt that is related to this ABS issue, but I figured I would mention it anyway.
Any ideas as to what's going on??
Thanks!
