i need to check my relay out! my ABS light has been on since day one! (of me owning it)
i checked my ABS wheel rings and the sensors, TONS of metallic-type (looks like shattered magnets) on the sensors, and the wheel rings have TONS of crud on them.
i bet all the things together is causing my problem.

I did this fix last week and am loving driving ABS light free.

I have my cluster out doing odo gears and thats when I saw that the PO had a piece of black electrical tape hiding the ABS "always on" light...very clever.
The lower panel is also off and I'll be darned if there's a relay in there to "fix" on the 89 cabrio I just bought.Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com

The fuse is there to protect things. Im my case the zeener diode in the relay everyone is soldering solid, was bad. It was a direct short. So soldering it solid w/o proper diag is A BAD IDEA!!! The zeener is there to handle the reverse polarity spike of the magnetic feilds in the relays that are actually on the pump. Why they did it this way is beyond me. I soldered in the 2 clamping diodes in the pump relays and pulled the smoke/shorted zeener diode outta the relay everyone is soldering solid and everything is happy. In my opinion this is a correct fix. The way most are doin it gives no circuit protection... just my 2 centsNow with 2.7i power!!!
