Pyle Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I was hoping to find my OP so I could add to it, but anyway. I know what is wrong with my ABS, need a new harness. I was told to try and clean the connection first, how? Is there a solvent of some sort, or just scuff them up a bit? Also, if that works, will the lights go off and the ABS magically start to work, or do I have to go in and have the codes reset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94CutlassSLCoupe Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 scuff them up...and get some contact cleaner and dielectric grease. The ABS *should* just start working on its own but otherwise, just disconnecting the battery for a minute would be sufficent to clear the codes.

Pyle Posted December 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 OK, this is wierd. I got the car in summer of '04 and the ABS/ trac has never worked once since then. Suddenly as of a couple weeks ago, I come out to jump in my car and the ABS and trac control system are working! They work for about a minute, usually when I shift from reverse to drive, and then stop working again. Since I got a car wash, with underbody flush (hey it's cold out I'm not handwashing when it's 10 out,) it hasn't worked. Could there have been something that got up there and formed a connection... salt perhaps. The mechanic told me it was a bad harness, not the sensor itself.

White93z34 Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 well pull teh wheel, unplug all the sensors, use a wire brush and mabie some kero, and clean up the connections then coat it in some dielectric grease and put it back together.
