    Strange Issue with Brakes

    Hey everyone, I finally got around to doing the H&R Cabby springs with billy sports, AKG Rear shock mounts, and m3 CAB (AKG 75D of course) car drives great (other than alignment) but when i changed the brake fluid (dot 4 of course) i now have the ABS light as well as the brake fluid light (even though I am topping it off) Could anyone shed some light

      Tell us how you bled it. You could have air in the abs system.

        My buddy pressed on the brakes while i opened the valve, I shut it before he released the brakes, they were bled until it was only clean fluid. I still have the strange low brake fluid light though

          Improper bleeding won't result in the ABS and BRAKE lights being on. Given the recent work, the former will be most likely to be as a result of one of the speed sensors being disconnected or otherwise an open circuit. The latter light will be due to brake fluid level sensor.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

            There is also a solenoid up under the dash that controls the ABS operation. If it is fried, the ABS won't work and the light will be on. That solenoid could have blown, but I would check what jlevie says first.
