How are you wiring in your ABS...late model.

[N2MYE30]

No. Should be immediate. Check that stupid little wire that breaks all the time in the ABS relay.

Still messing with this. I've been looking at this ETM, and I have not found the abs relay.

The abs worked before swap.

On a side note, my stomp test isnt working now...geez!

HELP!

You can also pull power from the monster splice of red/white wires in the main harness. That's how I have mine done. (note: if you pull it from the all red splice, ABS will be unswitched and will drain your battery every 24 hours or so.)

Are you talking about the starter cable? I used the e30 cable instead of the e36 stuff.

no, he means use one of the red/white wires in the plastic harness cover thing.

Late cars dont have a relay.. If yours had a relay, it wouldnt have a pin 20 and the c101 wouldnt affect abs anyway.

Skip the hacks. 6 to 20. Done.

I must have something else going on because this ^^^ aint working. Thanks Nando, the quest continues. :curse:

Abs relay!

[nando]

what's your build date?

[N2MYE30]

01/90

ABS relay is located above the ABS computer. Silver 5pin. Open it up

like I said, late cars don't have an ABS relay. His car could be on the cusp, but I suspect it doesn't have it either. the ETK isn't helpful in this case, I looked it up and it still lists the part # for the relay on my car. the ETM for '90 shows it doesn't exist but I have no idea if they switched the wiring at the end of the year, sometime in the beginning, or sometime in late '89.

edit: another look at some different wiring diagrams, it lists the change happening in mid '89. if pin 6 to pin 20 isn't working, something else is wrong. Try checking for voltage at pin 6 and check fuse 9.

My 2/89 car does NOT have the relay. Drove me nuts for a bit figuring that out.

Find the red/yellow wire going into the ABS pump. If it doesnt have 12v switched on then give it 12v switched on.

This is how I wound up doing it last night . I just spliced into a red/white wire and connected it to the black/violet wire on the X20 (not used for the swap) and connected that to pin 20 (red/yellow iirc) from the C101. No extra wires and clean install.

Another item check off the "still need to do after swap" list. :up:

Sorry to relive, but could someone tell me where these pins are?
By the fuses or in the glovebox?
