Location Of ABS Relay - Air Bag Car

[Slovik]

Anyone know where the ABS relay is on a 91 318is, this is an airbag car so the relay is not on the typical position above the ABS computer under the dash as the airbag computer resides there.

Thanks,

Seth

there is no ABS relay on late E30s.

[Slovik]

Wow, I guess I could have looked forever, thanks Nando. Now why is my ABS light lit up, any ideas on what to check first. I no longer have the airbag steering wheel and I disconnected the orange ABS relay on the inner passenger side fender could that have triggered the light?

Thanks,

Seth

Isn't that a crash sensor?

[Slovik]

Yes it's a crash sensor just guessing as I had disconnected it just before my ABS light came on. Reconnected it right away but the light stayed on.

err, there IS a relay right on top of the pump. maybe 2?

Pull the plastic cover off the pump, you'll see it.

Thanks Toby, I did that a few days ago and replaced them with one I got at a salvage yard. I replace them seperately figuring the "new" ones might be defective. I was hoping for a test procedure I can go through step by step.

Thanks,

Seth
